Michael Rosie is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh and Programme Co-Director of Nationalism Studies. He is affiliated with the School of Social and Political Science. His research focuses on nationalism, secularisation, religious identity, sectarianism, and the intersection of politics and religion in Scotland. He has served as an Independent Advisor to the Scottish Government on marches and parades, producing influential reports in 2016 and 2020.
Research Interests: Rosie’s work examines Scottish national identity, loyal orders, protest policing, and the role of religion in contemporary society. Notable areas include sectarianism in Scotland, the dynamics of unionism and nationalism, and the sociological implications of public protests such as COP26. His studies often employ ethnographic methods, including long-term observations of loyal orders and participatory engagement with protest communities.
Publications Trends: Recent articles highlight his focus on protest dynamics (e.g., COP26 policing critiques), religious demography (e.g., Scotland’s 2022 census analysis), and historical figures (e.g., Alex Salmond’s legacy). Earlier works address nationalism, sectarianism, and the Scottish independence referendum’s societal impacts.
Advisory and Grants: His advisory roles with the Scottish Government reflect applied research expertise. While no specific grants are listed, his work demonstrates strong engagement with policy-relevant sociology.
Labs/Teams: He leads the Nationalism Studies programme and collaborates with institutions on issues like sectarianism and protest governance.
