Victor is a Ph.D. student in sociology at the New School for Social Research (New York) and the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay. After having worked on how upper-class children “learn to give”, he now focuses on international education and the International Baccalaureate (IB) as a new standard of elite education. His dissertation is a comparative ethnography of IB schools in France and the U.S. that focuses on community-making practices and friendships. This work offers an alternate understanding of why elites are international, rooted in peer socializations.
