Exploring Identities

Join teams from the University of the Highlands, Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and the National Trust for Scotland’s Culloden Battlefield Centre for a day of FREE talks, discussions and workshops discovering different ‘identities’.

Inverness Town House

Find out more about how we research and teach identities at UHI and IMAG. Explore the great variety of identities represented throughout the British Isles from the Romans, the Picts, the Jacobites and the Victorians to the present; discuss what it’s like to have more than one identity with international students and community members, and help us to capture what it means to be a Highlander in our ‘Mapping the Highlands’ finale!

Time given for lunch; bring your own or pop out for a bite in the City Centre, or IMAG café.

No admission charge but booking is essential, in person at Inverness Museum & Art Gallery, call 01463 237114 or email cait.mccullagh@highlifehighland.com
