Promoting students’ interest through culturally sensitive curricula in higher education
Previous studies have emphasized culturally sensitive curricula in the context of enhancing minoritized students’ education. We examined the relationship between second-year higher education students’ perceptions of the cultural sensitivity of their curriculum and both majoritized and minoritized students’ interest in their course. A total of 286 (228 F) students rated the cultural sensitivity of their curriculum on six scales using a revised ver…
Chrystal Macmillan, Scottish campaigner for women's equality through law reform
This article will explore the work of Chrystal Macmillan, who used her knowledge of the law to further the cause of women’s equality through her committee work with several voluntary organisations, and her presentations to the British Government, the League of Nations, and the International Labour Office. Using archival material, both from committee minutes and family anecdotes, we will show the substantial amount of voluntary work undertaken by …
Marking-out normalcy and disability in higher education
This article advocates for socially just pedagogies in higher education to challenge senses of normalcy that perpetuate elitist academic attitudes towards the inclusion of disabled students. Normalcy is equated here with an everyday eugenics, which heralds a non-disabled person without ‘defects’, or impairments, as the ideal norm. This article attempts to mark the pervasiveness of normalcy in higher education by presenting findings from a systema…
Confronting similar challenges? Disabled and non-disabled students' learning and assessment experiences
The article presents evidence from a systematic survey of disabled (n = 172) and non‐disabled (n = 312) students regarding their learning and assessment experiences within one higher education institution in the UK. This study builds upon previous work in the sector, with the aim of gathering evidence to inform inclusive policy and practice for the benefit of all students, disabled or non‐disabled. The findings indicate that, while disabled stude…
Listening to children and young people affected by parental HIV: Findings from a Scottish study
This study, conducted between 1999 and 2002, set out to explore the experiences of children and young people in Scotland with a parent or carer with HIV. The study had three elements: a postal survey of health and social work agencies, interviews with twenty-eight children and young people and a postal survey of schools. The study found little recognition from statutory agencies of the needs of affected children, whether in health, education or s…
Risk and HIV: Scottish Schools' Approaches to HIV Education
Sex education is back on the agenda. Recent years have seenthe re-emergence in Scotland of a pro-abstinence lobby in the media, ostensibly influenced by the conservative movement in the United States. The rhetoric touched a cord with those concerned by Scotland’s high levels of teenage pregnancies and increasing rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (Scottish Executive 2003a). It also provides a backdrop to our discussion of HIV educati…
Social support and children affected by parental HIV
While HIV and AIDS continue to decimate the population of sub-Saharan Africa, HIV remains an issue of major concern for those working with children and families throughout Europe. The combined impact of intravenous drug use by young adults and heterosexual transmission means that increasing numbers of children and young people in many countries in Europe are growing up in families where one or both parents is HIV positive (EuroHIV Report Citation…
Research with children: Sharing the dilemmas
This paper identifies a number of significant gaps between the principles of good practice in research with children and the practical realities of conducting a research project with children. The context of the discussion is an ongoing research study of children and young people in Scotland with a parent or carer with HIV. The paper argues that conducting research with what is a hidden (and in many ways secret) population throws into sharp relie…
Collaboration between schools and community education agencies in tackling social exclusion
This paper describes the nature of the joint initiatives taking place between primary and secondary schools in Scotland and community education providers in local authorities and the voluntary sector, as reported on by the schools themselves. It details the characteristics of the relatively few schools which had strong links with their communities in terms of provision, collaboration and participation in decision making. Ten case-study schools an…
Developing collaborative partnerships: Limits and possibilities for schools, parents and community education
This article draws upon recent research into schools and community education across Scotland to explore the issue of collaborative partnerships. It argues that collaborative activity is a prerequisite for educational partnerships within a community education system and puts forward an analysis of collaboration in terms of the values, purposes, tasks and conditions under which activities take place. The authors conclude that collaboration will onl…

Direct Democracy in Practice: The case of ‘Community Ownership’ housing associations
This paper evaluates the achievement of ‘direct democracy’ in Community Ownership schemes. Community Ownership is a programme in Scotland to create small, community-based housing associations and cooperatives in areas of former council housing. The paper reviews four different views of direct democracy: as a form of radical politics; as a means of encouraging better or more rational decision making; as a method of rolling back the state, improvin…

Poor People, Council Housing and the Right to Buy
Data from the authors' qualitative study of decision-making in low income households casts new light on council house sales in a least-favoured housing estate. Under pressure from rising rents and rumours of privatisation, poor tenants are deciding to buy their houses as a way of securing their future in the area and controlling their personal environment, rather than as an escape from a residual 'ghetto' of welfare housing. This raises a number …
