For female Sinhalese students attending a national school in the Central Province of Sri Lanka, the school serves as a significant base for cultural production, particularly in reproducing ethno-religious hegemony under the guise of 'good' Buddhist girls. It illustrates that tuition space acts as an important site for placemaking, where students play out their cosmopolitan aspirations whilst acquiring educational capital. Drawing on theories of social reproduction, the book examines young people's aspirations of 'figuring out' their identity and visions of the future in the backdrop of nation-building processes within the school.
Laura Batatota has extensive experience in working within applied research and evaluation and has led impact functions across the not-for-profit and social sectors. Her research interests span anthropology of education, youth identities, social reproduction theories and aspirations, with a focus on South Asia.
