Class Choreographies: Elite Schools and Globalization By Jane Kenway Hardcover 1137549602 9781137549600 Class Choreographies: Elite Schools and Globalization Awarded Best Book prize by CIES Globalization and Education SIGAwarded 2nd Prize in the Society of Educational Studies Annual Book Prize Elite schools have always been social choreographers par excellence. The world over, they put together highly dexterous performances as they stage and restage changing relations of ruling. They are adept at aligning their social choreographies to shifting historical conditions and cultural tastes. In multiple theatres, they now regularly rehearse the irregular art of being global. Elite schools around the world are positioned at the intersecting pinnacles of various scales, systems and regimes of social, cultural, political and economic power. They have much in common but are also diverse. They illustrate how various modalities of power are enjoyed and put to work and how educational and social inequalities are shaped and shifted. They, thus, speak to the social zeitgeist. This book dissects this intricate choreography.

Class Choreographies pdf drive In places what comes through is an empathy for principals and teachers or sometimes students caught in these identity cages however the worldview built by the existence of these elite schools is shown to be always problematic even when people begin by meaning well Social change gets watered down into something that looks like charity even if these days it is called service or intercultural understanding. Class Choreographies epubs The book does not suggest a solution to the issue An obvious thought is that getting rid of these schools would serve the public good but as we have seen there is already a strong appetite to get rid of elite schools and the ways they drain resources of other schools and governments as well as the rich have ways of resisting this move of fragmenting the opposition by giving some people some things while continuing to inequitable fund schools As Kenway et al point out in their final chapter it s no longer just a matter of national governments there is a transnational ruling class now which is a very frightening thought whenever I consider it.
