Nature Repair at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

IFB Theme Leader, Dr Hannah Rudman, is undertaking a series of three novel outreach engagements to discuss Nature Repair at the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2025.

Hannah is chairing three sessions at the event that is held held in August at venues in the Edinburgh Futures Institute. The Repair theme is explained by Jenny Niven, the festival’s Director:

This year’s key theme of Repair starts from the belief that the brilliant ideas of writers and thinkers can help us repair a host of seemingly ‘broken’ things in our society, from the cycle of fast fashion and our relationship with the environment, to cultural reparations and the state of our politics. It’s a statement of hope and resilience, and an invitation for our audiences to think about what repair might mean for them. 

Details of the three sessions between Monday 18th and Wednesday 20th August, including guests, can be found on Hannah's website.
