Highlight Talk - Dr Pauline MacKay

Robert Burns Birthplace Museum

Free Highlight Talk in the Robertson Room at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, Alloway.

Robertson Room, Robert Burns Birthplace Museum

<h3>In this talk Dr Pauline MacKay, a world-leading expert on Robert Burns Studies, currently Senior Lecturer in Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow and Associate Director at the Centre for Robert Burns Studies, reflects on the process that led to bringing Burns into the virtual, the questions that have arisen along the way, and the aspirations for using immersive teaching in the future. Burns Beyond Reality allows the user to travel both back in time as well as into the imagery of Robert Burn’s famous poem Tam O’ Shanter. While there, the user can handle virtually curated artefacts relating to Robert Burns material culture and examine them within the context of the poem.</h3>
