#univofstandrews — Public Fediverse posts

How did #UnivofStAndrews benefit from, participate in, or support, British colonialism? Our report 'The University of St Andrews and the legacies of empire, 1700-1900' is now available https://legacies-of-empire.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/

The detail of our findings may be of most interest to those closely associated with #standrews #Fife and #Tayside, or #Scotland; but I hope that our approach will be of interest to a wider audience. #history #histodons

We also have a recent post on a fascinating very early #woman #History lecturer #univofstandrews :

Elizabeth Hewat: graduate of
#EdinburghUni, wartime replacement lecturer in
History #UnivofStAndrews
1919-20.

Had hoped to be ordained as #Church of #Scotland minister in 1920s. Later, missionary, scholar, educator in China and India.

We're having an event at #UnivofStAndrews this afternoon to celebrate the first women to be awarded #PhDs in #History at StA - and to discuss the ways in which experiences of early-career women historians have (or have not) changed over the last 100 years.

#histodons at a distance can read our web essays about Edith MacQueen (PhD 1927), Edith Thomson (PhD 1928), Elizabeth Menzies (PhD 1954) and Edith Johnston (PhD 1956).
