Lynn Abrams FBA is a historian and Professor of History at the University of Glasgow, and a Fellow of the British Academy (2018[1]).
[2] Between 2010 and 2016, she was co-editor of the journal Gender & History, along with Dr Alexandra Shepard and Professor Eleanor Gordon also of the University of Glasgow.
[4] In 2013, her research study on masculinity in Highland men between 1760 and 1840 was subject to media attention, when it received criticism from Gaelic writer Angus Peter Campbell.
Abrams studied the records of courts in Inverness and found a model of "disciplined masculinity" which subsumed a previously more lawless and violent Highland culture.
Campbell argued the research was flawed because of the difficulty of understand Highland society at that time without a knowledge of Gaelic.
