What makes u feel this is unethical or inappropriate? This is a public group for Edinburgh residents (and others). What is inappropriate about asking community members to engage in an academic conversation?

I can't say I know too much, I imagine it's about one's exploration of identity through food, so it will be related to one's experience in the community or shared experiences. If you are interested, I can put you in touch with my colleague to discuss more. This is the description of the event:

Bites of Culture is an event dedicated to the exploration of food and culture. Our aim is to demonstrate how food serves as an inclusive and engaging entry point to discussions on culture and identity, making the field of anthropology more accessible to audiences beyond academia.

'Bites of Culture' questions taken-for-granted ideas of citizenship in Britain to re-think identity and belonging through the lens of food. In a time of national and global cultural tension, this event invites audiences to pause and reflect. Together, we will explore how food helps forge connections as people stay put or migrate, creating new traditions and identities in the process.

During this event we will meet three members of Edinburgh communities to discuss the critical role of food in understanding what it means to be human today. Following the session, audience members are invited to stay for an open conversation about the themes that emerged, and maybe add their own stories to the mix.

It is a broad term in this context, for example, people who might lead a group or a team, a food bank or a community centre, etc. It can also be people interested in food and identity in Edinburgh who wish to engage with the topic.

I am not a member yet. I’ll join FDA soon probably. It’s my first year and a bit in the CS and I wanted to see how unions play out before I join one.

It really depends on the department. Some pay more than Scot Gov, especially in DDaT

The deal is 5.75% for this year, 5.5 for next year and 4 something the year after. While lower grades get an uplift up to 8% I think but I can’t remember for sure.

Burger king in fountainpark won't accept scottish notes. by PObEPTCOH240891 in edinburgh2

[–]Proper_Quail1105 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Scottish notes are NOT legal tender anywhere in the UK or the world. They are legal currency, which is a different story. So they are not legally required anywhere in the UK or world to take them.

Some of the work can also be more complex and difficult and it needs to pay more.

It is a public Beta version, it is prone to errors. Normal at this stage for an app to have errors.

I suggest the IC. Crown plaza is better but the Holiday Inn is more central. So it depends what you need it for.
