Thanks for tuning in as we return from an admittedly long break to air our final episodes of the season.  This week: Back Off Scotland.  BOS is a campaign group that originated in Edinburgh and later gained traction throughout Scotland, seeking to instate 150 meter buffer zones around clinics offering women's health services.  Macmillan Producer Aashfeen Kamal sat down with representatives from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Chapters of BOS to learn more about how they got where they are now, and how much further is left to go.

The Macmillan Talks is a production of the Macmillan, an Edinburgh based forum where we put ideas to work.  Find out more about what we do by following us on instagram @the.macmillan or search for The Macmillan Forum on Facebook.

In this episode of MacMillan Talks, we discuss how artificial intelligence is shaping businesses coming out of the pandemic with Deloitte partner Costi Perricos. As data is becoming increasingly important, Perricos speaks about his work helping clients to automate and transform their businesses.

This week, we speak to Kanto from Racism Unmasked, an organization created at the end of last year to combat racism in Edinburgh. With the rise of anti-Asian racism post COVID-19, we delve into the recent attacks on Asian people, microaggressions and what Racism Unmasked has been up to thus far.

TW: discussions of race, racial abuse, trauma and aggressions.
