New Sociologies Of Elite Schooling

This book is framed around the notion of a 'new sociology of elite education', bringing together a new array of conceptual and theoretical tools while also deepening those that already exist. The contributions examine various configurations of contemporary class making and their attendant politics in a diverse range of countries. These explorations are situated in the specificities of geographical locales where the complex dynamics of both national/local educational priorities and global/transnational forces are played out, showing how these dynamics put pressure on elite schools to redefine them. This book was first published as a special issue of British Journal of Sociology of Education.
