Abstract
Scotland has a rather small community of researchers with a particular concern for gender in education. Its smallness is a matter for regret. However, as Maneka Gandhi (quoted in Lindsay Paterson's, 1993a, editorial to the second issue of Scottish Affairs) said 'never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world; it is the only thing that ever has done so'. She was speaking in the Lothian European Lectures associated with the European Leaders' Summit in Edinburgh in December 1992. For me, her statement focused attention both on the European dimension and on one special responsibility that we have: to pursue, through research, the interests of gender in education. But what would that mean? What role does research have in this crucial area?
