Welcome Back Event: Another Way to Split Water with Alycia Pirmohamed, September 22

For our first event of the new academic year, we are excited to be hosting Alycia Pirmohamed to mark the launch of her debut poetry collection Another Way to Split Water (Birlinn, 2022). Pirmohamed’s work explores the movement of ancestral memory across generations, through intimate questions of belonging that are deeply rooted in place and embodied encounters with the natural world. The event will be chaired by Dr Rebecca Macklin.

This special, in-person EEHN event will take place on Thursday 22nd September at 4pm in Room 1.06, 50 George Square (School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures). All are welcome to attend!

Please get in touch with any queries at environmental-humanities@ed.ac.uk.
