Whitmarsh, David – Journal of Research in International Education, 2022
International Mindedness (IM) is recognised as being a key component of an international education (Hill, 2015). However, IM is also acknowledged as an 'under-reported and under-researched aspect of elite [international] education' (Bunnell et al, 2020). This has led to the concept being described as 'enigmatic and under-defined' by researchers…

Dugonjic-Rodwin, Leonora – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2021
This article attempts to bridge a divide between the empirical use of Bourdieu's concepts and the theoretical discussion of field theory with regard to education.

It builds upon recent scholarship that applies…
