SGSAH Research is the Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities’ platform for sharing Arts & Humanities doctoral research from across Scotland, showcasing projects, researchers, and alumni.
The British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships is a programme run by SGSAH with funding from the British Council to enable international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish HEIs, Scotland-based academic mentors, and external organisations. The collaborations are in the field of environmental arts and humanities and strive to explore interdisciplinary connections.
In 2025, ten successful applicants formed the third EARTH Scholars cohort and visited Scotland as part of their exchanges: Leyla Craig, Marta Kucza, Leena Samin Naqvi, David Ogoru, Betlem Pallardó, Thainan Rocha, Miriam Sentler, Janet Sit, Paro Tomar, and Zahra Tootonsab.
