Following on from my tutorial today, I have further narrowed down my question. I have decided to focus on Whitelands and Digby Stuart College. Through these colleges, I will then be looking at the transformative effect of  War on Women’s Teacher Training Colleges.

To do this I will look in further detail at the curriculum and student life prior to the outbreak of war whilst comparing this with the conditions that the students would have experienced, both during the evacuation and on their return to London. The two colleges I will discuss both have different experiences surrounding their evacuation from London so it will be interesting to see if there are any differences in the student’s experiences or similarities that might be mirrored in other scholarship on this topic.

Overall my essay question is:

To what extent can the inter-war period be seen as a transformative period in relation to Whitelands and Digby Stuart College students and the curriculum they experienced.

Whilst in terms of my project I will be looking at the differences between the life of a current student on either Whiteland or Digby Stuart College compared to the life of a student in either Whitelands or Digby Stuart College during the inter-war period. I have several options on how I could present this project either through a leaflet or through a more graphic depiction aligning the two daily routines alongside each other.
