We’re thrilled to have Dr Sam Walton, of Bath Spa University, here with us over the summer. Sam is an academic and poet, and holds a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award. She is also the organiser of the Landscaping Change project, which explores the meaning of place and the impact felt when those places change around us. During her time in Edinburgh, where she will be based in the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities, Sam will develop new research on the Scottish novelist and essayist Nan Shepherd.
