Maritime Gaels: a Social History of Labour in West Highland and Hebridean Fishing Communities, 1790-1914

苏格兰西部高地的海事活动从世纪后期开始发生变化，因为国家和私人土地所有者通过“改善”计划直接干预。高地清理奖学金在很大程度上忽视了那些被迫在海岸或海上从事文化上污名化劳动的人的存在。该项目将采用“新高地历史”的方法-从下而上的社会史，跨学科和案例研究-空白。它将整合劳动史，性别史和景观考古学，探索雇佣劳动力到西部高地的后果：海上盖尔人的生活，工作环境，地位和关系。

Maritime activity in the Scottish West Highlands was transformed from the late 18th century as the state and private landowners intervened directly through 'Improvement' programmes. Highland Clearances scholarship has largely ignored the existence of those compelled into culturally stigmatised labour on shore or at sea. This project will adopt the approach of the 'new Highland history' - social history from below, interdisciplinarity and case-studies - lacuna. It will integrate labour history, gender history and landscape archaeology to explore the consequences of the coming of waged labour to the West Highlands: the lives, workscapes, status and relationships of maritime Gaels.
