About Cicely’s Research:
How have the women of Glasgow School of Art performed acts of resistance in response to an industrial military complex of the 20th and 21st century?
Taking a focus on women’s involvement in anti-nuclear, refugee and peace activism, the PhD project will centre forms of political engagement that were instigated by GSA students and staff, and how these are evidenced, and made accessible, through the GSA Archives & Collections.
