Dr Louise Heren is an alumna of the University of St Andrews and an independent researcher of Scottish History. She is the author of Sex and Violence in 1920s Scotland as well as co-author of the recently published Tanks on the Streets? The Battle of George Square, Glasgow 1919 https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tanks-on-the-Streets-Hardback/p/23463. Her key research interests are Scottish criminal violence and working-class lived experiences. Her research is grounded in the archives held at the National Records of Scotland at Edinburgh.
Louise’s talk will focus on events during the Great War in Glasgow and how four years of heavy industrial effort culminated in the Battle of George Square on 31 January 1919. She will explore women’s participation in the shipyards and engineering shops, as well as Mrs Barbour’s Rent Strikes of Autumn 1915 and their national impact. And she will examine working-class anxieties after the Armistice: how ‘red’ could Clydeside dare to be post-War?
