"International schools are transnational spaces constituted by a diverse set of class actors, both expatriate and local, linked by their translocality and social ties across several registers of economic, political, and social difference, this setting provides only a backdrop to a complex transnational story of contacts, mobilities, and social class-making under globalization. Falling on national affiliation in transnational spaces enables particular kinds of social hierarchies. Some more structural–institutional processes (differential pay and respect between local and expatriate teachers, outsourcing service workers to companies, the privileging of Anglo-English) only serve to advance colonial dynamics in the international school."
