Novelist William Boyd, understanding language around LGBTI+ & impact of domestic violence.

Novelist William Boyd reflects on his career, understanding language around LGBTI+, and a look at the impact and dynamics of domestic violence and coercion.

Cathy Macdonald speaks to the acclaimed novelist and scriptwriter William Boyd, reflecting on his writing career and his dual sense of belonging to Africa and Scotland. 

It might be a decision deliberately made, or it might not be a choice at all, but quite often society casts judgement on the childless. Lorna Gibb, author of ‘Childless Voices’, looks at the stigma and struggles of childlessness.

The term LGBT has been around since the late 1980s, but in recent years there have been some new additions. Jemma Tracey, a member of Edinburgh’s LGBTI+ community, and Tim Hopkins, Director of the Equality Network, explore the power of language around sexuality, gender, and identity. 

This week’s Inspiration comes from Islamic scholar Dr Amina Wadud, who often returns to a particular Sarah McLachlan song. 

Following the murder of their mother and sister by their father, Luke Hart and his brother Ryan became leading voices in the fight to end male violence against women. Ahead of a visit to Scotland, Luke joins Cathy, along with the Chief Executive of Scottish Women’s Aid, Dr Marsha Scott. 

She was an early 20th century pioneer who designed a car especially for women. Engineering historian Nina Baker tells us all about Dorothée Pullinger, who’s being celebrated in an exhibition at the Audacious Women Festival in Edinburgh.
