Resilience or Retreat
This study examines the malleability of the International Baccalaureate (IB) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on how the IB adapted – or failed to adapt – across the United States between the 2020–2021 and 2023–2024 academic years. Drawing on national data, the study analyzes shifts in IB adoption and discontinuation across school types, regions, and political contexts. While the IB demonstrated institutional resilience, particul…
Cosmopolitan nationalism in action
The article examines cosmopolitan nationalism within the context of imposed internationalization in Ecuador's education, focusing on Unidad Educativa Carlos Tobar (UECT) and its integration of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). It explores the teachers’ use of ‘vincular’ – linking global curricula to local realities – as a manifestation of cosmopolitan nationalism in practice. Although imperfect, this approach is presented …
Ethical environmental, community, and research engagement in times of crisis
We use a critical incident from Indigenous educational fieldwork on global environmental shift with Kichwa-Indigenous communities in, Ecuador. A community leader's question, 'Who will replace you?' becomes a point of entry to reflect on the many dimensions of community engagement in interdisciplinary weather systems change research. We examine how guesthood and mink'a (obligatory community work) help reframe the roles and responsibilities of rese…
International education and the rise of paleoconservative thought
Despite the growing presence and visibility of paleoconservative critique of international curricula such as the IB, little scholarly attention has been invested in discerning how the rise of paleoconservative thought in mainstream politics has shaped or even redirected the IB’s growth in the United States. This study strives to address this gap by examining the association between county-level voting patterns with the growth of the IB, the avail…
The promise of mobility in a context of constraint
In 2012, Ecuador signed an agreement to introduce the International Baccalaureate into the country’s public-schools. Once considered an emblematic policy of former president Correa’s administration, the initiative is now questioned and its future uncertain. This ethnographic study strives to write against the commonly invoked deficit narratives that attribute the initiative’s shortcoming to students’ dispositions. I considered how the practices a…
Being More
This article examines why a group of elite students assured of their life-chances willfully engaged with stress-inducing school experiences. Unlike common portrayals of "stress culture" as being the result of economic uncertainty, I found that stress was viewed as a necessary prerequisite for students' understandings of moral worthiness. I conclude by discussing how students' affective and evaluative engagements with stress are informative for br…
Social class and the construction of international mindedness
The purpose of this paper is to examine how students inhabiting distinctive social spaces and experiencing considerably different material realities define, value and problematize the concept of international mindedness. Drawing on a larger multi-sited ethnographic study of two International Baccalaureate schools in Ecuador, the study found that while students from distinct social backgrounds provided similar definitions of what international min…
Negotiating the tensions
This paper examines how international schools negotiate the competing demands set forth by the discourses of ideological ‘internationalism’ and ‘market-driven’ multinationalism. This was accomplished through a critical discourse analysis of the mission statements of 46 Association of American Schools in South America (AASSA) member international schools. By identifying the interdiscursive and intertextual elements of the mission statements, we fo…
