In this CommonSpace podcast, CS editor Ben Wray interviews James McEnaney, education journalist and college lecturer about his soon-to-be published book A Scottish Journey: Personal Impressions of Scotland. The book is a record of James' trip on his motorbike around Scotland earlier this year, shining a light on communities often ignored. This podcast discusses: - Why James had always wanted to write this book, after reading Poet Edwin Muir's Scottish Journey (pictured) (3:30) - The political alienation and marginalisation much of Scotland feels, including through a lack of genuine local democracy (8:00) - What the dividing lines of modern Scotland and how has the country changed (13:56) - How James' Scottish Journey has informed his views on what policy changes Scotland needs and on Scottish independence (27:04) The book will be launched on Monday 24 September in Waterstones, Byres Road, Glasgow. More details can be found on the Luath Press website.

School student Doaa Shabbir published an article on CommonSpace last month questioning whether a school system based around a competitive attainment culture is really educational progress, and outlining a vision for education based on the uplifting of a whole generation. Read here: https://www.commonspace.scot/articles/12925/doaa-shabbir-if-educational-progress-not-about-uplifting-whole-generation-then-it-not In this podcast, CommonSpace editor Ben Wray talks to Doaa, teacher Keri McGachy and college lecturer, journalist and education campaigner James McEnaney about what is school actually for, whether we value the right things and what education for the common good would look like. Specific areas discussed include: - Doaa's experience of the school system and her critique of it - Examples internationally of countries that have ostensibly high levels of attainment but also high levels of stress and anxiety partly due to the competitive schooling culture. - What does educational progress actually mean and how to achieve it - The structural and cultural barriers in Scotland to having an education system that works for the common good. - Attempts to close the 'attainment gap' in Scotland and whether this is the right focus with the right policies to achieve it. - What difference could technological change such as automation make to school education.
