Scotland Yet: An Evening of Scottish Cinema, Culture, and Conversations on National Identity
This is a momentous year in the history of Scotland. It marks the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn when Robert de Bruce and the Scots defeated the English army of Edward II thereby ensuring Scottish Independence for another few centuries. On September 18th the Scottish people will vote by referendum to regain or reject that independence. At present the polls show the “Yes” and “No” sides neck and neck. Whatever the outcome, Scotland and its place in the world will be changed forever. On the eve of the vote, please join us for Scotland Yet: An evening of Scottish Cinema, Culture and Conversations on National Identity. Refreshments begin at 6 p.m., and cinema and conversation begins at 6:30 on Wednesday, September 17. Your hosts are Associate Professors Andrew Kincaid and Tami Williams, along with Allain Daigle, Zachary Finch, Lauren Haufler, and Jessica Johnston. This presentation is free and open to the public, and is being co-hosted by the Center for Celtic Studies, and the UWM Media, Cinema & Digital Studies Program, and the Department of English.
