Rhiannon Purdie is co-organising a joint Rochester-St Andrews symposium on Older Scots Literature at the University of Rochester with Tom Hahn, 9-10 May 2016. It brings together specialists from the U.S., Canada and Europe — including our own Roger Mason from History, and SAIMS post/recent graduates Caitlin Flynn and Liz Hanna — for two days of papers on 14th to 16th-century literature in Older Scots. Rhiannon has spent Semester 2 at the University of Rochester, NY, as a Fulbright Scottish Studies scholar.
