The fellowship gave an excellent opportunity to disseminate the results of the research to an audience beyond history and academia, as well as engage policy makers and members of the public in conversations around the importance of uncovering Scottish women’s legal history to properly understand women’s legal position in Scotland today. During the fellowship I developed and fostered a keen interest in feminist lawmaking and gender mainstreaming in policymaking. After a brief stint in the Scottish Parliament as a researcher I accepted a position at The Young Women’s Movement as their Research and Policy Lead. In my current role I’m developing our research and policy hub through an intersectional feminist lens to ensure young women’s voices are meaningfully heard to influence policy and challenge systemic inequality.
