Education and Learning
This chapter addresses the culture and experience of education and learning in Scotland, engaging head on with the myth of the ‘democratic intellect’ from a gendered perspective. It examines both the notion of a masculine education tradition – of universality and meritocracy - embodied in the ‘democratic intellect’ and the consequent assumption that Scottish women were either passive victims or willing dupes of a patriarchal ideal. It addresses a number of issues: the nature of anglicisation and its impact on Scottish education; the responses to that influence; and the gendered experiences of schooling in Scotland.
