Hello, and a warm welcome to the website of Alastair McIntosh. Thank
you for visiting my home page. See below for
contact
details and my public itinerary.
The tabs above for
are for main themes, and links on the left include a classified index of my publications
and some other key ports of call.
I grew up and was educated on the Isle of Lewis in the
Outer Hebrides of Scotland,.
Together with four years in the 1970-80s working with appropriate technology
in Papua New Guinea, my background gave me a grounding that has shaped my
life's work. Much of this has focussed on land reform, community empowerment
and the psychology and even spirituality of the wider human condition.
Since 2004, my wife
Vérène Nicolas
and I have lived within the parish boundary of Govan
in the City of Glasgow where I am a founding trustee of the
GalGael Trust. This
works to "demonstrate ways of living with greater humanity in our times",
helping one another to rebuild community and to counter unjust social
structures that impact upon a hard-pressed urban area. Véréne is French. We
met in rural Ireland in 1996, and she works with transformative learning and
collaborative leadership.
Nearly all of what I've posted on this website has been previously published
or delivered as an address. The resources here include landing pages for my
books, the text of speeches, academic papers, articles and letters in the
press, poetry, reports and some broadcasts. There's direct links to the past
year's publications at the bottom left column of this page. Video etc. is
either on the
interviews
menu, or provided as Zoom recording links for the current and previous year
in my public itinerary lower down this page.
Since 1996, my work has been mainly
freelance as a human ecologist,
writer, speaker, researcher and activist. I am a Quaker, an
honorary senior research fellow (honorary professor) in the College
of Social Sciences at the University of Glasgow, and as a Fellow of the
Centre for Human Ecology was Scotland's first professor of human ecology at
the University of Strathclyde. I have also held honorary fellowships at the
Academy of Irish Cultural Heritages (University of Ulster), the School of
Divinity (University of Edinburgh) and the Schumacher Society.
What I do and stand for
This website broadly
represents my work in human ecology -
the study of and participation in relationships between the natural
environment and the social environment. My approach to this integrates depth
psychology and the spiritual. I understand the spiritual to be the inner
ground of being in which our outer lives are held. In this, I am especially influenced by
liberation theology in Christianity and other
faiths, this being theology that liberates
theology to liberate humanity. In choosing what to work on, I therefore ask questions
like:
 | Does what I do feed the hungry?
|
 | Is it relevant to the poor or to
the broken in nature? |
 | Is it meaningful?
|
 | Does it give life? |
In practice, this means working with professional
groups, communities and key individuals within them to develop their vision,
courage and capacity for practical change. It is the question of what gives
life that most binds my work together, work that often involves holding
seeming contradictions together in tension, and trying to approach matters
with what the Celtic monks called
"the inward ear of the heart" (Adomnán, Columba, II:13).
My books have variously been described as "weaving a
dizzying range of ideas into a single bright fabric" by the poet John
Burnside, "an inspiration to anyone who cares about their own connection to
place" by Professor Carolyn Merchant, "a life-giving vision for our
collective future" by Professor Michael E. Mann, "solid on the science yet
dedicated to the human spirit" by Professor Katharine Hayhoe, "careful,
sober reasoning" by Mary Midgley, "a spiritual journey" by Starhawk,
"world-changing" by George Monbiot, "life-changing" by the Bishop of
Liverpool and "truly mental" by Tom Yorke of Radiohead.
Places at which I have spoken or taught include:
 | Environmental organisations including
the International Union for the
Conservation of Nature, WWF International, the Society for Ecological
Regeneration and Schumacher College; |
 | Religious bodies such as the
World Council of Churches, the Holy Trinity Sergyev monastery and Iona
Abbey; |
 | Military institutions (on
nonviolence) regularly at the UK Defence Academy, also the Royal College
of Defence Studies, the École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, the Irish
Military College and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy; |
 | Business groups including
Groupe Credit Mutuel, Shell plc, Nokia
Research Centre and Lafarge (on whose
Sustainability Stakeholders' Panel I sat for a decade); |
 | University institutions including the
Russian Academy of Sciences, Duke
Divinity School, INSEAD business school, the Glasgow School of Art and
the Guildhall School of Music and Drama; |
 | Festivals including the Edinburgh International,
Ashville Wordfest, Greenbelt, HowTheLightGetsIn and the Lochs
Agricultural Show back home in the Isle of Lewis. |
Background and availability for events
Born in 1955, all of my school education (1960-73)
took place
in the community where I was raised, on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer
Hebrides or Western Isles. A traditional Scottish education allows for a
generalist worldview. I hold a BSc in geography from the University of Aberdeen
(1973-77) submajoring in psychology and moral philosophy; a financial MBA from
the University of Edinburgh (1980-81); and a PhD by published works in
liberation theology, land reform and community empowerment from the
Academy of Irish Cultural Heritages, University of Ulster (2008). A CV
and short bio is
here.
Since 1996 I've made my living on an entirely self
employed basis - writing, broadcasting, keynote speaking at
events, workshops, retreats, taught courses and consultancy. For
availability see my
public itinerary, and a rough idea of the kind
of things I talk about at this list.
My personal financial accountability, my suggesting scale of charging for
events, and my approach to travel in the face of climate change are all given
here.
I undertake live and online events, and have the technology to offer blended
events using Zoom. The pandemic has caused
most face-to-face events to
have been cancelled or shifted online from 2020 into early 2022. However, I
am fully vaccinated, and for in-person invitations can
offer to bring and operate Zoom-adequate cameras and studio-quality wireless
microphones to enable blended events.
I run this website to
represent myself professionally. Its main purpose is to make my
published work readily available and to give events information. Forgive it being
a homespun website. I use antique FrontPage software from the
last century, but it does a good enough job and I know how to manage it
myself. Treat it as a retro experience.

For work issues please
try to avoid phoning outside weekday working hours. Remember time
zones - we're in GMT or BST in summer (i.e. GMT+1). If you need to
discuss something that requires much thought I prefer an email first
if possible to arrange a mutually convenient calling time. I am on
Skype, Facetime, WhattsApp and Zoom: but unless it is a pressing matter
please first try to arrange any call by email or text.
Directions to our home/office:
Public Transport:
For public transport in
Scotland, it is worthwhile downloading the
Traveline Scotland
app. If coming from central Glasgow, take the subway (underground train)
to either Govan or Ibrox. They're each one mile from our house. From
Govan is a more interesting walk, but Ibrox is a simpler route and
less congested if we're picking you up by car (see below if walking). From
either Govan subway
station or the city centre (Renfield St), you can get a
McGills Route 26
bus to the second stop on Craigton Road, from where we're the next
street up on the right. The fare is £3.60 from town as of the start
of 2018). They're every 10 or 16 minutes during the day, but the
timetable is unreliable. Our house is no.
26, half way along Luss Rd on the right. If coming from city
centre's Queen St or Central stations, the stops for the 26 bus are
on Renfield Street (extending onto Union Street). Taxis up from Govan are about £4,
from city centre about £12, and from the airport about £20.
If walking from the
subway exit at Ibrox, turn right
onto Copland Road. Up to the lights and turn right. Pass alongside
the Rangers football stadium, go straight on over the first
roundabout, straight over the second roundabout, on to the lights,
turn right down Craigton Road, and Luss Road is the 5th exit on the
left (depending on what you count as an exit).
By Car: If coming
on the M8 from east or west, exit at junction 24 (Helen Street),
signposted for Govan. Head downhill and over the lights to a
roundabout, as if heading to the Clyde Tunnel. Turn left at the
roundabout then right at the lights into a residential area,
Craigton Road (signposted to "Elderpark Workspace"). Luss Road is
the 3rd on the left (or 4th depending on what you count).
If coming by car from the
North via the Clyde Tunnel, as you exit the tunnel prepare to take
the first left just at the tunnel's end. Be careful - it comes on
you very quickly and it's easy to overshoot. This brings you out
onto Govan Road with a very large roundabout. Turn right at this,
onto Drive Road, passing a Elder Park on your left. At the end of
Drive road, keep the park on your left by turning left onto
Langlands Road. Take the 3rd right, just before you lose the park,
onto Arklett Road, then 2nd right is Luss Road.
Avoid the M8 approaches if
you can when there's a football match on at Ibrox. There may also be
parking congestion at such times. Taxi drivers from outwith this
area do not know it well. Tell them that you want Luss Road which is
off Craigton Road, and to take the Helen Street exit if
coming from the M8.
If you are viewing in iOS or
similar "Reader" mode, temporarily "hide reader", or otherwise
turn it off, to view the timetable below and links above and to the
side. Reader modes generally only let you see plain text. They don't
display a full web page with boxes, tables, etc..

Alastair
McIntosh's Itinerary of Main Events
This
table shows roughly which dates I'm booked up for, with
booking links and, often, links to previous events' video
recordings. It also
shows what sorts of events I take on. For information on
booking me for events please
click here. For an overview of my typical speaking topics
click here. Gaps
in the timetable do not necessarily signify availability,
especially over weekends, as this is not my private diary.
Dates marked for delivery of Thought for the Day mean that I
have to be near a BBC studio early that morning, and have
time on the previous day for preparation - though these
dates can be swapped with another presenter. Events marked
"s.t.c." are "subject to consent/confirmation",
and it is best to confirm events with the organisers'
information before turning up. |
