Elite independent schools in globalising circumstances: a multi-sited global ethnography

这是对澳大利亚、新西兰、新加坡、香港、马来西亚、印度、巴巴多斯、南非、美国和英国的精英私立学校的研究。由于这类学校通常被视为学校教育的黄金标准，而且它们的校友通常在经济、政治和专业界具有很高的影响力，因此了解它们的工作和它们所代表的理想在全国和全球都很重要。这项研究将确定全球联系的增加对这些学校的影响，并将加强了解有多少国家和国际领导人是通过他们的教育形成的，以及可能产生的影响。

This is a study of elite independent schools in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Barbados, South Africa, the USA and England. Because such schools are often seen as the gold standard for school education, and because their alumni are often highly influential in economic, political and professional circles, understanding what they do and the ideals they stand for is important nationally and globally. This study will identify the impact of increased global connections on such schools and will enhance understanding of how many national and international leaders are formed through their education and with what possible implications.
