Acting with Head, Hand & Heart: A Public Talk and Q&A | QMU150

As part of our 150th anniversary celebrations, QMU hosted this special event featuring two distinguished historians. Dr Bill Aird explored the life of Margaret, Saint and Queen, after whom our institution is named, diving into her remarkable legacy. Attendees discovered the long-reaching impact of her choices in educating her daughters and how she shaped the Scottish royal court, preparing the ground for her son, King David I, to transform Scotland. Dr Lesley Orr then highlighted the social movements that led to the creation of our institution, focusing on our inspirational female founders who campaigned for rights and worked to transform opportunities for women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, both within our institution and far beyond. Following the presentations, Joyce McMillan, journalist and broadcaster, chaired a Q&A session at what proved to be a fascinating, revealing and inspiring look at the stories of women who acted with head, heart and hand.
