SUMMARY:A Cultural History of UFOs in Scotland - Dr. Gavin Miller
DESCRIPTION:Flying saucers\, UFOs\, and now UAPs have been part of Scottish cultural life since the early 1950s. Leaving aside the question of extraordinary explanations for UFOs\, this talk traces a history of Scottish UFOs from the Cold War to the Bonnybridge Triangle. It looks at the different ways in which people have experienced\, understood\, and made use of UFOs\, and the wider histories into which these stories are woven.\nDr Gavin Miller is Reader in Contemporary Literature and Medical Humanities at the University of Glasgow. Alongside the history and culture of UFOs\, his research interests include science fiction\, the history of the psychological disciplines\, and the history of Penguin\nBooks. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr Gavin Miller – Reader in Contemporary Literature and Medical Humanities\, School of Critical Studies\nDirector Medical Humanities Research Centre\nhttps://www.gla.ac.uk/mhrc/\nDirector Glasgow Medical Humanities Network \nWelcome \n\nQuality and Enhancement Officer\, College of Arts and Humanities\nRetentions and Success Officer\, College of Arts and Humanities\n@drgavinmiller @glasgowmedhums\nRecent publications:\n‘Beyond a literacy model for psychiatry in the mass media’\, BJ Psych Bulletin\, https://doi.org/10.1192/bjb.2023.63\n‘The book history of Rona M.
