Jamie is also the Director of the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science, as well as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Health and Place and co Editor-in-Chief of Wellbeing, Space and Society. Jamie joins the RSE’s current Fellowship of around 1,700 Fellows, who are recognised as being some of the greatest thinkers, researchers and practitioners working in or with Scotland today. It is a privilege to be able to welcome our new Fellows, and we are inspired by the breadth of talent and experience in our Fellowship. Every single individual elected this year has shown exceptional levels of expertise and insight in their chosen field, and their input helps RSE effect real and lasting change in Scotland’s society. We look forward to working with our diverse Fellowship who provide a crucial link between the world of academic research and practice with government, business and civil society.
