Dominic Hinde is a journalist, writer and sociologist. He is currently Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Glasgow, where he researches climate change and the media. He previously worked as a foreign and environmental correspondent for outlets including the Times, Prospect Magazine, the BBC and the Scotsman. He appears regularly on TV and radio as a commentator on both environmental issues and international affairs and also translates plays and journalism from Scandinavian languages into English.

Alistair Braidwood is the founder and presenter of Scots Whay Hae!, a podcast celebrating Scottish culture.

We bring the two together at Daydreams for a very special event to discuss Dominic’s new book Drifting North: Finding a Sustainable Future in Scotland’s Past.

Part memoir, part environmental history, part travelogue, this is a compelling narrative of connections – to place, energy and the possibility of renewal. Through the lens of one country, it asks a vital question: can the lessons of the past help us build a more sustainable future?

Event will include author interview, audience Q&A and book signing.

Light refreshments will be provided.
