'Resilience' is highly valued as a character trait drawing from emotional resources to operate in futures that cannot yet be imagined. Attempts to create desirable forms of human capital undergird the formation of educational experiences, conducive to producing twenty-first century global leaders, but they also generate uncertainty and reveal the complexity of maintaining privilege in competitive environments. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
