Early life and education

Christina Larner was born in London, the daughter of Helen Margaret Wallace and John MacDonald Ross, senior civil servant, who both went to university.[1] After attending South Hampstead High School for Girls (London), she matriculated and graduated with first class honours in Modern History in 1957 at the University of Edinburgh.[4] She was awarded a PhD at the University of Edinburgh for her thesis 'Continental Influences on Scottish Demonology, 1560–1700’ in 1962.[4][5]

After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, Larner moved to the University of Glasgow as a part-time assistant in the Department of Politics and Sociology in 1966.[4] In 1972, she was appointed Lecturer in Sociology and was subsequently Senior Lecturer.
