From the Back Cover
This work discusses how the complex relationship between welfare policies of equity and market efficiencies/deficiencies of education policies is handled in local practices. It offers contributions from the five Nordic countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland - and pays special attention to questions about access and diversity in upper secondary education.

The book draws on a wide range of theoretical frameworks and research projects and provides multiple perspectives of how upper secondary staff and students have experienced reforms of education governance during the last two or three decades. The research projects range from in-depth case studies to the analysis of large-scale data sets and inform practitioners, policy makers and researchers about practices of education policy that are highly influenced by market forces.

Her main research interests are in ethnographic approaches to education policies and practices, which she has studied in several school and learning contexts. In her recent research, focus is on policy issues of employability, performativity and talent, especially in relation to social background and inequality. Her latest publication on this includes Cultivating Excellence in Education. A Critical Policy Study on Talent, which is published in the series of Educational Governance Research and co-authored by professor Christian Ydesen.
