| dc.description.abstract | In 2018, four schoolgirls had their application to participate in the junior spin-off of a famous cultural event rejected by a group of adult men, re-igniting long-held tensions in the Shetland Isles. As an islander concerned with the future progress and prosperity of my home, and as a public sociologist at QMU, I joined a local grassroots activist group to try to help tackle a local problem of inequality. | en |
