Introduced by: John Devaney (The University of Edinburgh)

We ran four "in conversation with" seminars throughout the year where an alumnus/alumna/staff member from one generation interviewed an alumnus/alumna/staff member from another. These events were informal, and attendees were invited to bring questions, observations and any artefacts that were willing to share with others and with us - old exam papers, dissertations, scrolls, badges - whatever!

Our last event - 26th September 2018 - John Devaney "in conversation with" Viv Cree. This event looked back on Viv's 40 year connection with the University of Edinburgh, from student to practice teacher and later staff member. It also marked her official retirement from the university. The event also marked the contribution of Vivienne Triseliotis (nee Laughton) to social work education at the University of Edinburgh. Vivienne worked as a student supervisor at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in the mid 1950s before becoming a lecturer at Edinburgh, a post she held until 1970. Vivienne continued thereafter to support her husband, John Triseliotis, in his work.
