Tiago Bittencourt is an assistant professor in the Department of Education at Universidad San Francisco de Quito.

With a regional focus in Latin America, his current project focuses on “elite education” and its critical role in the formation and reproduction of social class privilege. His work can be found in academic journals such as Anthropology & Education Quarterly, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, and Globalisation, Societies and Education.
