Abstract
This article aims to chart a new critical geography of elite schooling by comparing the importance of space and place in elite schooling in the UK, Canada, and Sweden. We do so to illuminate the present patterns and historical developments of elite schooling in each of the three countries while highlighting the role of geography. We build on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of elite education by developing its spatial sensitivities and begin to theorise how national and local places and contexts matter to the formation and entrenchment of elite schooling in an era of neoliberal privatisation in our increasingly globalising world.
