{"product_id":"elite-schools-aaron-koh-9781138779419","title":"Elite Schools: Multiple Geographies of Privilege","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeography 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Koh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138779415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138779419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Aaron Koh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924211237119,"sku":"9781138779419","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5d064df8-0c13-4673-997c-80306bad3149.jpg?v=1681069131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elite-schools-aaron-koh-9781138779419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
