Professor Gillean McCluskey gave the 6th annual memorial lecture in honour of the late David Raffe, Professor of Sociology of Education and Director of the Centre for Educational Sociology at the University of Edinburgh. The topic of her lecture: ‘Understanding school exclusion: what can we learn from a home international comparison?’ reflects David’s concern about the lasting impact of young people’s experience of schooling on their future life chances and how policy might make a positive difference.Professor McCluskey’s lecture drew on the concept of ‘home international’ comparative research across the four nations of the UK, which David pioneered. He saw this approach as a way to gain a better understanding of core educational issues by investigating policy and provision in each of the nations which share broadly similar social, economic and cultural contexts.
