Is Prof. Catriona MacLeod at the University of Chicago the same ...?

Scotland World University and School

- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland 

Dear Professor Catriona (MacLeod), 

https://arthistory.uchicago.edu/faculty/profiles/macleod

I'm writing to follow up on a text message today from my friend Ed Smyth MD. Greetings! How are you? I hope this email finds you well. I'm particularly interested in learning some of your thoughts to the questions below regarding World Univ & Sch, but am also exploring growing networks, and regarding Scotland, and academically. How might we best do this further, beyond on Twitter for example. 

So, my first question is: are we related, since I think I have ancestors from the Isle of Raasay, and you appear to be from North Tolsta - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Tolsta. In developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, I've been planning for Scotland World University and School too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland - for free-to-students' online Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, and IB High School or similar degrees. Having said that, I'm curious too how to begin to use the web further to explore questions of relatedness, and, for example, with WikiTree, as a start - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524. Are you on WikiTree? 

And are you three Catriona's related - https://arthistory.uchicago.edu/faculty/profiles/macleod and https://london.ac.uk/institute-in-paris/about-us/people/dr-catriona-macleod and https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/humanities/staff/catrionamacleod/ - since you have the same color hair, look similar, and, you, Catriona in Chicago, in a Tweet (below), write that you have a very thoughtful daughter? :) 

So this is what my good friend Ed Smyth MD here in the SF Bay Area just texted me - 

and I shared with him:

Ed,

This appears to be the Arrow Writing Catriona McLeod in Australia ...

https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-catriona-mcleod-8b97564/

... and I wonder if the Univ of Chicago Prof Catriona MacLeod helped her a bit too (re below) ...

and see below. 

(I've lived two full years in Scotland, first in 1977-78 studying at Fettes College in the 1st year 6th form, - and my former Kimmerghame housemaster George Preston is above in this email., The second year I studied at the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh, from which I know Lecturer at the time Abigail Burnyeat, also above, and wrote a big MSc paper on St Kilda / Hirta as emerging nascent online virtual place, which is here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/ocean-quahog-arctica-islandica.html - with much much more, and in the 'Scotland' label of my daily blog too :)

How might we communicate further about all of this? Brainstorming-wise, I'm curious how PM Stuart Liddell (above, and my bagpiping teacher on the Scottish small pipes) could even become a first faculty member at World Univ & Sch. And please see these recent 9/18/21 WUaS Minutes in these regards - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/09/minutes-for-91821-world-univ-sch-wuas.html - and for, for example, Bachelor degrees to matriculating Scottish students, in English, in the WUaS online Music School, possibly combined with a major in Computer Science (brainstorming-wise too). I'm also curious how Stuart, brainstorming-wise, could create, for example, a machine learning approach (with WUaS & Google IT support) to identifying all bagpipe tunes, both Piobaireachd (Ceol Mor), and Light Music (Ceol Beag), potentially via the Google ecosystem and platform, - and such that he could even publish a book about the process and the project as a consequence, and as a faculty member. 

Catriona, might you, at the University of Chicago, have interest in communicating further about this very creative and helpful-to-Scots' project? (Other Scottish friends here above?:)

And did you, Catriona, come into conversation with Catriona McLeod in Australia, regarding "Is Catriona MacLeod at the University of Chicago the same as Catriona McLeod?" 

Thank you, and looking forward to communicating further about some of this. 

All the best, 

Scott

PS

These are my correspondences with Ed from earlier in all of these regards - 

Ed

Thanks for texting me this - 

https://arrowwritingediting.com/2019/02/06/why-re-read-favourites-books/

A relative of yours, perhaps?

This language could be an interesting way to reach out to Catriona MacLeod at the University of Chicago. (Her Twitter suggests she may have an interest in Scots' Gaelic too - https://twitter.com/CatrionaMacL/status/1445039678772719623?s=20)

And re ... 

A

'Why re-read favourite books?'🙂 ... because they can be page-turners, Ed! ... Thanks for this idea ... I don't know Catriona McLeod ... will seek to learn more 🙂 How are you? What are some of your 3 favorite books?

B

After some search, I found a LinkedIn to perhaps the article's author, Catriona McLeod ... in Australia ... Another Catriona MacLeod, a Scot, it seems, and professor at the University of Chicago, formerly at Penn, and with a Harvard PhD, and Univ of Glasgow MA came up ... in Art History ... https://arthistory.uchicago.edu/faculty/profiles/macleod?field_type_value_1=All&page=2 ... and with a no Valentine Tweet too ... https://mobile.twitter.com/catrionamacl/status/1088181435213725699 ... but while a high academic achiever, it may not be the woman above re why re-read favorite books?

C

Thanks, Ed! Am making some associations here, in thinking about Catriona MacLeod at the Univ of Chicago. Perhaps like Scottish Country Dancing teacher, and Scot, Linda Henderson, in Berkeley, I wonder what the Catriona MacLeod at the Univ of Chicago, who wrote,  "Invisible Sculpture, Latent Violence, and Monumental Parody in Mädchen in Uniform,' which won a recent prize, might suggest about their Linda and Catriona's backgrounds, and re Scots' military history ... On with best STEM CC-4 OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch  ... and eventually for Scotland WUaS ... Catriona MacLeod at University of Chicago, however, could be an interesting contact for World Univ & Sch ... and developing Scotland WUaS. (Might my seeking to connect with a partner, attractive, MD even, late 20s, early 30s, be best explored presently at the UU Church of Kensington???) May re-read some favorite books however 🙂 What are you up to this week, Ed, and reading-wise? 

Here's her Univ of Chicago Professor page - 

https://arthistory.uchicago.edu/faculty/profiles/macleod

And these Tweets are interesting -

No valentines, sadly - but some botanical studies, animals, and rococo ladies from the 1920s. Are you working on papercuts generally?"

(and SO she does 'botanical studies' re https://arrowwritingediting.com/hobart-content-writer/hobart-horticultural-report-writer/? ... and interesting to read here the sophisticated endorsements, and to see the butterflies' picture too  ...  and this may be her company - https://arrowwritingediting.com  ... and interesting to read the books in your text message's URL that may be her favorites ... )

Looks like she has a daughter, however ...

"Mentally packing my bags for Iceland, as my thoughtful daughter has been accepted into an environmental science study abroad program at the University of the Arctic. #livingvicariously"

https://chicago.academia.edu/CatrionaMacLeod

Am not clear if she has a double-appointment academically re - https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/humanities/staff/catrionamacleod/ 

Not I think, but could this be her daughter somehow - 

https://london.ac.uk/institute-in-paris/about-us/people/dr-catriona-macleod

catriona.macleod@ulip.lon.ac.uk

(but maybe not because this Catriona MacLeod is a lecturer in literature, and not in environmental science)

Could together be a fascinating team, both with degrees from the Univ of Glasgow ... 

And where does this Catriona McLeod fit in - 

https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/humanities/staff/catrionamacleod/ ?

They would also know, idea-wise, potentially how to build out in World Univ & Sch Google Workspace for Education, with OCW.mit.edu for Scottish students, first in English, and then in Scottish Gaelic and Scots, if helpful, and as wiki schools in particular, and it might be a very enjoyable and CREATIVE and literary project (even, ie one idea would be to write books about this:) for both of them.

Catriona MacLeod says a lot! more on her Twitter, emotionally too (from a Scottish Professor in America's perspective), and interestingly ...   https://mobile.twitter.com/CatrionaMacL (but if that's her daughter, I haven't found her Twitter yet) ... I may email both of them and explore the idea of Scotland World Univ & Sch ... Is her possible daughter an academic in London, and at Glasgow perhaps?, and regarding a British Academic career ladder position ? (Her daughter isn't that attractive to me, if it's her daughter, but they both could conceivably know of a Scot in the SF Bay Area interestingly:).

Fond regards, 

Scott

Thanks so much, Ed!
