Earlier this year, the institute played host to Camellia Biswas, a researcher from India, as part of an international programme run by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities (SGSAH).
During her three-month scholarship exchange, Camellia examined the evolution of human-seal relationships in the Northern Isles through storytelling, folktales, and myths embedded in historical and zooarchaeological records.
The results of her research – Orkney’s Enigmatic Seal-ationship: Mapping Dynamics of Eco-Cultural Evolution Of Human-Seal Relations in the Orkney Islands – can now be viewed online.
