Nurturing Mobilities
Nurturing Mobilities employs new empirical material and an innovative theoretical framing to bring new clarity to why families travel today – and what happens when they do. The authors argue that an imperative to ‘think with mobility’ and to ‘aspire to be mobile’ shapes identities, futures, and family practices. Drawing on data that examines family travel practices – typically short-term trips – across the working-, middle-, and globally mobile middle-classes, Nurturing Mobilities describes how families travel, why they travel, and the role young family members play in curating family travel. Vitally, it examines the two biggest contemporary issues in global mobility: COVID-19 ...
Elite Education and Internationalisation
This book offers both a theoretical and empirical examination of elite education, at all stages from the early years to university level. The book explores the various manifestations of internationalisation of education; the implications of these for national education systems; the formation and re-articulation of elite forms of education locally and globally; and how these facilitate the reproduction or disruption of processes of inequality. The collection critically considers these questions by drawing on contributions from around the world, and focuses on how internationalisation processes shape the various stages of the education system – from early years settings to higher education â...
The Machinery of School Internationalisation in Action
Drawing on scholarship from the field of internationalisation in higher education and other theoretical influences in education policy, comparative education and sociology of education, this edited collection offers a much-needed extension of discussion and research into the compulsory schooling context. In this book, established and emerging scholars provide an authoritative set of conceptual tools for researchers in the field of internationalisation of compulsory schooling. It provides an overview of the current knowledge base and ways in which future research could engage with gaps in understandings. Through detailed case studies of the multiple forms of internationalisation present within schools and schooling systems, the volume considers why and how processes of internationalisation are shaping compulsory schooling today. This book will offer scholars and educators a clearer, more coherent set of conceptual frameworks within which to position their work in sociology of education, and international and comparative education, helping to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the many ways compulsory schooling is being internationalised, and with what consequences.
Dead on My Feet
When a well-known Wesley banker is killed on her doorstep, Claire Maxwell’s day goes downhill fast—especially when she’s considered a prime suspect. Although it’s unlikely that Claire’s brother, Chief Jack Maxwell, really believes she had anything to do with it, she doesn’t like any possible connection between her and a dead man. Besides, being perpetually dateless, everyone in Wesley already knows that lately most of her dates have been more dead than alive. In an effort to clear her name, Claire is soon on the hunt for the real killer. She quickly finds all kinds of other possible suspects – all, in her humble opinion, with way better reasons than she has to kill Mr. Berger. The suspects are plenty and Claire begins to hear things about the victim that she wishes she had never heard. In the spirit of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this humorous murder mystery is full of twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing the killer’s identity until the very last page.
London Maritime Arbitration
This is a practical and concise guide to London maritime arbitrations that sets out the procedures and problems that may arise at each stage of an arbitration. By reference to individual cases and statutory provisions, it provides guidance on how to approach in practice such problems as the appointment of arbitrators, fees, costs of arbitration, security for costs, mareva injunctions, and dismissal of claims for want of prosecution. This work has been structured to reflect the far-reaching effects that the Arbitration Bill may have on London maritime arbitrations.
The Privileged Few
Male and white privilege are on the decline, yet elite privilege has gone from strength to strength. The privileges enjoyed by the rich and powerful are not only unfair but cause widespread harm, from the everyday slights and humiliations visited on those lower down the scale to the distortions in the labour market when elites use their networks to secure plum jobs, not least in new domains such as professional sports. In this book, Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton show that elite privilege is not a mere by-product of wealth but an organising principle for society as a whole. They explore the practices and processes that sustain, legitimise and reproduce elite privilege and show how we are a...
