Val McDermid & Jo Sharp: Imagine Another Country
Two years ago, inspired by Book Festival discussions about the necessity of imagination for political change, Val McDermid and Geographer Royal for Scotland Jo Sharp invited a diverse group of people to share their ideas. This summer a post-pandemic second edition adds more voices to Imagine A Country. Today they are joined by contributors to the new edition, offering an eclectic range of ideas for social change, including Dr Carey Lunan, a GP partner at Craigmillar Medical Group and Chair of the Scottish Deep End project, which serves the 100 most socio-economically deprived populations across the country and Scottish writer and broadcaster Billy Kay.
