About Hannah’s Research:
The anti-nuclear movement in Scotland has left its mark on Scottish culture and politics but only recently gained academic attention. The significant role of women in the movement remains largely invisible. This project responds by analysing, enriching and amplifying the archives of women peace activists Beth Junor, Elisabeth Seale Carnall, Helen Kay and Kathleen Miller. The project will not only produce new understandings of the anti-nuclear movement and of women’s peace activism in Scotland, but also develop a distinctive feminist approach to movement archives and foster new links between the National Library of Scotland and Glasgow Women’s Library.
