The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

  • Andrew Marr Show 19Th March 2017 Ruth Davidson Am
    1 RUTH DAVIDSON ANDREW MARR SHOW 19TH MARCH 2017 RUTH DAVIDSON AM: Good morning, Ruth Davidson. RD: Good morning, Andrew. AM: You said not so long ago, ‘I actually don’t think that Westminster saying “no, ye cannae” to a Scottish referendum would play very well in Scotland and it would damage the unionist cause.’ Have you changed your mind? RD: Well, that’s not what Theresa May said. She said that now is not the time. And on a point of principle she said that to have a fair referendum the people of Scotland need to know what it is they’re voting for. They need to know what Brexit looks like, so it’s got to be after the Brexit process has played out. And crucially they also need to know what independence looks like. And I think it’s astonishing that after a two-day conference in Aberdeen the SNP haven’t still told us what their vision is for independence after dropping this bombshell on Monday. AM: Unless the government are astonishingly incompetent, on Nicola Sturgeon’s timescale we will know pretty clearly what the Brexit deal will be at that point. So what’s the problem with the referendum? SD: Well, no, I don’t accept that at all, Andrew, on the grounds that we also know that there’s going to be an awful lot of powers that come back from Brussels and many of them are going to be devolved to the Scottish parliament. The same powers, actually, that Nicola wants to hand back to Brussels, that we believe.

  • (2017) Women Leaders in the Political Field in Scotland: a Socio-Historical Approach to the Emergence of Leaders
    Robinson, S. and Kerr, R. (2017) Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders. Leadership, (doi:10.1177/1742715017710592) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/140039/ Deposited on: 27 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders Authors: Sarah Robinson University of Glasgow [email protected] Ron Kerr University of Edinburgh [email protected] Introduction This study responds to a call for papers for the International Studying Leadership Conference (Edinburgh 2015) to ‘rethink leadership research1. We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).

I am delighted to present to you the first annual report of the SOAS China Institute (SCI). The SCI represents the collective expertise of one of the largest communities of China scholars in the Western world. It brings together 50 China experts with extensive knowledge and experience of the country developed across the humanities and social sciences. China has changed tremendously since I first set foot there in 1986. Domestically it is a very complex country, in a constant state of flux yet seeking to achieve some form of social harmony. Internationally it is a major political and economic power, increasingly demanding to be understood on its own terms. More than ever before, critical understanding of China requires a team effort by experts across a range of disciplines, it requires genuine fluency in Chinese and genuine sensitivity to Chinese culture, and it needs direct and frequent Making an impact on global conversations. where Chinese experts across government, arts interaction with partners in China itself.

I am the mountain that kisses the sky in the dawning. I watched the day when these, your people, came into your heart. Tired. Bewildered. Embittered. ∗ The author is an attorney with The McCrummen Immigration Law Group, L.L.C. in Kansas City, Missouri. He is a member of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration. He is a member of the bar in Missouri and Kansas.
