Geography matters to elite schools - to how they function and
flourish, to how they locate themselves and their Others. Like
their privileged clientele they use geography as a resource to
elevate themselves. They mark, and market, place. This collection,
as a whole, reads elite schools through a spatial lens. It offers
fresh lines of inquiry to the 'new sociology of elite schools.'
Collectively the authors examine elite schools and systems in
different parts of the world. They highlight the ways that these
schools, and their clients, operate within diverse local, national,
regional, and global contexts in order to shape their own and their
clients' privilege and prestige. The collection also points to the
uses of the transnational as a resource via the International
Baccalaureate, study tours, and the discourses of global
citizenship. Building on research about social class, meritocracy,
privilege, and power in education, it offers inventive critical
lenses and insights particularly from the 'Global South.' As such
it is an intervention in global power/knowledge geographies.
