| Sumario: | Examining the relationship between education and elites is a relatively new research area in Argentina. In the sociology of education this issue has become widespread and is linked to an interest in understanding how the more relevant groups in society are comprised (Howard & Gaztambide-Fernández, 2010; Khan, 2011; Kenway, Fahey & Koh, 2013; Maxwell & Aggleton, 2013 and others). Existing literature looks to explain the dynamics of inequality and the prevalence of poverty by focusing on disadvantaged groups; however, studies lack an approach centred on the groups that concentrate conditions of privilege. We agree with Howard and Gaztambide-Fernández (2010, p. 1) when they argue that “the lack of attention to privileged groups is not simply a gap in the existing research but a conceptual link missing in our understanding of inequality”. |
