Spotlight 2.7: Global Scotland and homelessness
Published: 6 December 2022
Commentary
The historical context which has produced today's global Scotland, and understanding homelessness.
Kezia Dugdale and Professor Graeme Roy speak with Murray Pittock, Pro-Vice Principal at the University of Glasgow and Bradley Chair of English Literature, about the research in his new book Scotland: The Global History: 1603 to the Present which seeks to place the international Scotland that we see today into a historical context.
They also speak to Jocelyne Fleming, one of the authors of the Road to Home report produced by the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence, on the role the University can play both to understand the issue of homelessness and address its root causes.
