Title: Scottish Archives and Records: a year in review 2023-4 - University of Stirling, Covid Collecting Author(s): Al-Mulla Taylor, Rosanna Abstract: First paragraph: In 2021, one year on from the first UK national lockdown, colleagues in the University of Stirling’s Division of History, Heritage and Politics and the University’s Art Collection approached Archives and Special Collections about an oral history project which would interview staff and students at the university about their experiences with the huge shifts in learning, teaching and lifestyle which took us by storm in 2020–21. The oral history interviews would be kept in the University Archives and Special Collections in the Pandemic Archive, which, by the time this oral history project was launched in 2021, had already amassed related material through contemporary collecting strands.

Title: New Futures of Care: Investigating Emotionally Laden Work in Museums Author(s): Morgan, Jennifer; Woodham, Anna Abstract: The New futures of care: Investigating emotionally laden work in museums project was a 12-month research collaboration that took place between February 2024 and February 2025, funded by a Royal Society of Edinburgh workshop grant, the University of Stirling and King’s College London. The project explored how museum workers in the UK articulate, experience and utilise emotions in their professional lives. This is a topic that has received little focused attention, yet it is of growing scholarly and sector concern as museums increasingly operate in contexts of urgent change (e.g. presented by anti-racist, decolonial practice and climate justice).

Title: Networking nuclear research in Scotland and the UK Author(s): Dee, Megan; Crilley, Rhys; Intropido, Stefano Abstract: Despite the significance of nuclear weapons to British foreign policy and public debates around security and politics, there is no detailed map of nuclear weapons policy expertise at UK universities. This report addresses this gap. The study collates for the first time a detailed database of nuclear weapons policy expertise at UK universities, along with information about where those academics are based, what issues they research, and where courses related to nuclear weapons are taught.

Title: The Scottish Government - Scottish Parliament Written Agreement on Intergovernmental Relations: Still Fit for Purpose? Author(s): Nicola, McEwen; Coree, Brown Swan Abstract: The Agreement was designed to enhance the ability of the Scottish Parliament to scrutinise intergovernmental relations (IGR). But with these relations becoming more important in the post-Brexit environment, McEwen and Brown Swan ask: is the Agreement still fit for purpose? The short answer is: No. The report was commissioned jointly by the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government. It shines a light on the challenges that MSPs had in scrutinising intergovernmental processes, including in relation to the Fiscal Framework and the Deposit Return Scheme. It makes a number of recommendations to strengthen the Agreement. These would help to ensure greater openness and accountability of the Scottish Government’s participation in IGR. It examines the Written Agreement, which was established in 2016, looking at: whether and how the original principles of the agreement – transparency, accountability, and respect for confidentiality – have been met in its implementation whether the terms of the Agreement remain fit for purpose
