Education
Gilligan has a BA (Hons) in Politics and West European Studies, University of Wolverhampton (1992) and studied for a PhD in Politics and Contemporary History, University of Salford from 1997-2002.[3]
Edinburgh RCP
Gilligan was an RCP organiser in Edinburgh in the mid 1990s. According to a 1996 Scotland on Sunday report:
- a surprising note of optimism came from two people on Edinburgh's Princes Street, competing with the festival leafleters to try to promote the left-wing magazine Living Marxism and having as much luck as the Hare Krishna man further down. "The feel-good factor is just a phrase the Tories use to win votes but the strange thing is that things are actually getting better," was Chris Gilligan's theory as he tried to encourage another passer-by to buy his magazine.
- But he countered this by saying that although life was better economically, people don't feel good because they feel they can't change anything. "If people don't feel in control of the society they live in then it doesn't matter if things are getting better - they won't feel good." It is all apparently explained in their book, The Point is to Change It, his fellow persuader Tiffany Jenkins pointed out. But not many of the shoppers who raced past seem to feel bad enough about their situation to want to change it by buying the magazine. Too busy spending their disposable income.[4]
