    The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint

    On 4 November 2019, Luath Press published Harrison’s first book. Inspired by her 2016 ‘durational performance’ The Glasgow Effect – for which she refused to travel beyond Glasgow’s city limits, or use any vehicles except her bike, for the whole calendar year – the book provides the complete context for her thinking and action. (Word count: 119,000)

    National Museum of Roller Derby

    The National Museum of Roller Derby (NMRD) collection was founded at Glasgow Women’s Library in 2012 as Harrison’s contribution to the Library’s 20th anniversary celebrations. As a new ‘outreach’ initiative, the NMRD aims to bring a whole new, strong and revolutionary young audience to the Library, by using it as a home for the UK’s first permanent archive for the new and exciting all-female, full-contact sport of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby.

Here's a little project I've been working on this year during lockdown - compiling a comprehensive Bibliography for my book 'The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint', which was published by Luath Press in November 2019 📚🤓 The book itself has Endnotes, but no Bibliography, so I thought it would useful to draw together all the resources referenced in one alphabetical list, including links to those available online. ...

Brilliant news about the Divest Dundee campaign today! 🤩 Ive been campaigning for more than five years to get my workplace - the University of Dundee - to commit to divesting its endowment from fossil fuel companies. Today they finally did it! Thanks to People & Planet and to Hannah Feuerstein and all the brilliant students who have helped pile the pressure on!
