What does ‘masculinity’ mean today? On Being a Man brings
together four men to consider the condition of Scottish men,
reflect on their own backgrounds and experiences, and confront some
of the most difficult issues men face. These include the changing
roles of men in Scottish society, the role of work and employment.
What it means to be a man is very different from forty years ago:
in terms of expectations, relationships, how men relate to
partners, bring up children and what constitutes a modern family.
However, there is a dark side of Scottish masculinity – seen in
the drinking, violent, abusive behaviour of some Scots men, and
this book addresses this directly, getting into issues many of us
often shy away from confronting. Draws on the wide-ranging voices
of: journalist, writer and broadcaster, David Torrance; founder of
a youth employment and mentoring charity, Sandy Campbell; public
health researcher, Pete Seaman; and former policeman and head of
the violence reduction unit, John Carnochan.

There are many currents moving through the polar regions. Physical
currents are changing the landscape. Cultural and linguistic
currents are always changing, ebbing, flowing, adapting. PLC 2008
(Currents of Change: the Future of Polar Information) and the 2008
University of the Arctic Council Meeting (Currents of Change:
Advancing Polar Information and Knowledge Transfer) ran
simultaneously. For this meeting, the currents of the Colloquy and
the UArctic meeting flowed together and sometimes took different
channels. Some keynotes, social and cultural events were held
together. The intent was that through this exchange, administrators
of the Arctic post secondary institutions and polar librarians
would come to know each other and that the flow of information
within and among the two organizations would be strengthened. The
PLC program was packed with the latest from the polar information
community. There was a half-day dedicated to the International
Polar Year and another panel on information needs within the
University of the Arctic.
