ABSTRACT
International Baccalaureate (IB) Directors of international schools command a paradoxical space of progressive futures, cloaking injustice and whiteness. This is enacted daily through policy, recruitment, teaching and remuneration which privileges the empowered, exploits the marginalised and thereby delivers a critical education of questionable efficacy. This original research applies the theory of Bourdieu. Social agents (Directors) lead a field wherein symbolic violence is normalised in recruitment and operations towards the non-white, non-Anglo Europeans. By deploying whiteness theory, these directors of diversity champion norms of internationalism, but do not ‘see’ the advantage of white, that defines the field. In turn, students learn to engage in whiteness and understand that the knowing, being and doing of whiteness and Englishness is synonymous with internationalism and power. Fundamental change is needed with a formalisation of recruitment/remuneration/teaching policy that operationalises the IB’s progressive educational values and reverses the automatic injustices levied at the non-white/non-Anglo European.

洗净白皙的世界;国际学校的政策
摘要
国际学士学位(IB)国际学校的校长们在不断发展的未来,掩盖不公正和白皙的环境中拥有一个悖论空间。这是每天通过政策,招聘,教学和薪酬制定的,这些政策赋予了被赋权的人特权,剥削了被边缘化的人,从而提供了可疑功效的批判教育。这项原始研究运用了布迪厄的理论。社会代理人(导演)领导着一个领域,在招募和行动中,针对非白人,非盎格鲁欧洲人的象征性暴力行为得以规范化。通过运用白度理论,这些多元化的主管倡导了国际主义准则,但没有“看到”定义领域的白人优势。反过来,学生学会进行美白,并了解这种了解,白人和英国人的存在与做事是国际主义和力量的代名词。正式的招聘/薪酬/教学政策需要进行根本性的改变,从而使IB的进步教育价值观付诸实践,并扭转非白人/非盎格鲁欧洲人的自动不公正待遇。
