ABSTRACT

Bunnell draws on his experience of 25 years working in “Elite Traditional International Schools” in London, and Copenhagen, to reflect upon what global citizenship looks like as delivered by a school that aims to purposefully do it. Poole draws upon his experiences of working in the newer “Chinese Internationalized School” context, in Shanghai. Together, we critically identify what forms it takes, drawing upon Basil Bernstein’s Sociology of the School, especially the role that everyday interaction rituals have in transmitting the “expressive culture” of the school.
