SCOTTISH NATIONALISM, POLITICS AND HISTORY

from Howard Fienberg

Edinburgh Castle (Anna, Alanna, and Silke)

Having spent the 1994-5 academic year studying Scottish History at the University of Dundee with Professor Chris Whatley , I became entranced by Scottish politics, and the nationalism which plays such a large role in it. I then wrote four papers as part of an in-depth look at Scottish nationalism and politics during my senior year (1995-6) at Trent University with Professor (now Emeritus) Joseph Wearing.

• Work on Scottish Nationalism and Politics: (at Trent University)
1. Scotland and the UK
2. Scottish Nationalism and Parties
3. Scotland and Europe
4. An Independent Scotland

• Work on Scottish History: (at the University of Dundee)
1. The Union of 1707
2. Women: Hidden in Scottish History
   (Published in Heather and Thistle , Oct 1997)
3. The Radical Uprisings of the 1790's and 1819-20

Edinburgh Hogmany Jan. 1, 1996
