  • Talking Gothic! What Do We Mean by Gothic Architecture and How Can We Identify It?
    Talking Gothic! What do we mean by Gothic architecture and how can we identify it? ‘Gothic’ is the name we give to a style of architecture from the Middle Ages. It is usually thought to have begun near Paris in the middle of the 1100s and, from there, it spread throughout Europe and continued into the 16th century. There are many marvellous examples of Gothic buildings throughout Scotland: from Elgin Cathedral in Moray, through amazing buildings like Glasgow Cathedral, Paisley Abbey and Edinburgh St Giles, down to Melrose Abbey in the Scottish Borders. All of these, and more, are well worth a visit! Gothic architecture developed from an earlier style we call Romanesque. Buildings made in the Romanesque style often have rounded arches on their (usually comparatively small) windows and doors, thick columns and walls, lots of ornamental patterns, and shorter structures than the buildings which came later. Dunfermline Abbey is a great example of a Romanesque building in Scotland. The people who paid for the earliest Gothic buildings expressed a wish to transport worshippers to a kind of Heaven on Earth by building higher and brighter churches. What emerged is what we now describe as Gothic. Fashions changed throughout the time that Gothic was the predominant style, and it also varied from place to place. However, the Classical revival made popular as part of the Italian Renaissance largely replaced the Gothic style, and it wasn’t fashionable again until the 19th century. During the Romantic Movement Medieval literature, arts and crafts enjoyed renewed popularity. As a result, Glasgow Cathedral was begun in the Gothic elements can be seen today in the churches, public buildings, and late 12th century and was at the hub of the Medieval city.

  • You May Not Consider a City the Best Place to See Interesting Geology, but Think Again! the City of Glasgow Was, Quite Literally
    Glasgow’s Geodiversity K Whitbread1, S Arkley1 and D Craddock2 1British Geological Survey, 2 Glasgow City Council You may not consider a city the best place to see interesting geology, but think again! The city of Glasgow was, quite literally, built on its geology – it may even have been named after one of its rocky features. The geological history of the Glasgow area can be read in the rocks and sediments exposed within the city, from the streams to the buildings and bridges. In 2013 the British Geological Survey Quarrying and building stone conducted a Geodiversity Audit of Sandstones in the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in the Glasgow the City of Glasgow for Glasgow City area were commonly quarried for Council to identify and describe the building stone.

  • The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK's Dispersal
    The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK’s Dispersal Policy Who Belongs Where: Controlling Movement and Settlement Word Count: 18, 733 By Stephanie Murphy Supervised by Darshan Vigneswaran University of Amsterdam Msc Political Science 1 Abstract Today we are witnessing a collective action problem between European states who are unable to manage immigration and asylum. In response, this thesis reflects on the role of urban spaces in reimagining narratives of acceptance. In the majority, EU states are reacting to the demands for sanctuary with hard borders, a pejorative discourse and ultimately the avoidance of responsibility. This is not only leading to an unproductive, but an immoral system with the value of human life lost. In light of this stalemate I turn to the urban level and discuss the role of local actors in challenging state decision-making, alongside the perceived trade-off between interests and ideas. I specifically focus on the case of Glasgow which stands out as a extreme example of asylum acceptance, taking far more than its fair share as a voluntary dispersal city under the UK’s asylum dispersal policy. By engaging with descriptive statistics, document analysis and semi-structured interviews I explore the interconnected factors which produce Glasgow’s high level of acceptance. In doing so I outline how the current theoretical framework is insufficient in explaining the complexities of acceptance beyond a zero-sum dialogue. I conclude by outlining how Glasgow’s position as a dispersal site has been maintained by an array of conceptual and normative factors which overtime have entrenched a ‘culture of care’ in the city.
