SPACE AND PLACE
ARC SPRING FLING 2025

Spring Fling – Space and Place

What areas do you value in the city where you live? How do you think about yourself in relation to the galaxy? Where do you go to get your body moving? How easy is it for you to get from a to b? What things can you do to feel more connected to the natural world?

These are just some of the questions that researchers at the University of Glasgow are asking as part of this year’s ARC Spring Fling. Through interrogating the theme of Space and Place, the ARC invites you to a wealth of FREE public events throughout the Easter Holidays.
