Ailie Cleghorn is professor emerita from Concordia University in Montreal. As a comparative sociologist of education her research took her to several African still-developing primary and pre-primary school settings. As a result, this neatly ties in with Marjorie’s story, who herself trained as a Montessori teacher. Ailie was born and raised in Canada, however, her mother was from Scotland. Marjorie’s Journey: On A Mission Of Her Own is her first book published with Scotland Street Press.
