Topic DERC Webinar: Global Citizenship in International Schools? The lexis of justice meets the grammar of privilege.

This DERC webinar with Alex Gardner-McTaggart (Dean of arts and social sciences, British University of Bahrain) explores the notional operationalization of GCE in international schools. It aims to juxtapose the values of GCE with the operational realities of international schools, set as they are, in a competitive marketplace. In this presentation, the messaging and imagination of international schools is captured as narrative language, and interpreted through this lens. This session will be of significant interest to scholars and prospective teachers alike, and aims to foreground the potential of these extraordinary organizations and the limitations placed upon them. CHAIR Fran Hunt, Director of the Development Education Research Centre.
