Oct 7, 2026 | Arts and Humanities Impact, Public Humanities

On 16 September the Mapping the Arts and Humanities Project had the pleasure of travelling up north to the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh for the Humanities Summit on advocacy, policy and place, delivered by the School of Advanced Study with the Scottish Arts and Humanities Alliance (SAHA). We joined around 40 colleagues from universities, subject associations and research organisations to identify the most effective ways for the humanities to make their case in regional and devolved policy.

Machine Encounters: Introduction to “Whose Bias”

May 6, 2025 | Education & Pedagogy, Public Humanities

“Machine Encounters” introduces “Whose Bias?”, a collaborative event offering a playful, hands-on introduction to AI and machine learning. Using toys and snacks as data, participants explored how bias emerges in machine learning processes. Emphasising accessibility and curiosity, it reflects on the importance of combining software enginneer and humanities-led approaches to demystifying AI technologies through inclusive, low-barrier participatory activities.
