"Providing an extraordinary picture of the inner workings of elite universities, Elite
Universities and the Making of Privilege draws on current debates on education and
inequality and considers the relevance of universities' global brand identities. Using
the work of Bourdieu and Critical Race Theory to explore how identity, experience,
and family background affects how people navigate the social space of the university,
this book is underpinned with empirical research that considers different social,
economic, and educational contexts. Using interview accounts of graduate students,
this book highlights ambiguities in how eliteness works as both a recognisable marker
of institutional status and a marker that is rarely quantified or defined. Combining
intellectually rigorous, accessible, and controversial chapters, Elite Universities
and the Making of Privilege is crucial reading for anyone looking to understand how
race and class affect those navigating elite universities"
