Abstract: | In a “settler society” such as Canada, inequalities in higher education have geo-political dimensions, necessitating a theoretical
framework that considers the geographic distribution of material wealth and power. This paper explores both the economic and
social implications of the geographical distribution of the higher education system in British Columbia, Canada, including
the ways in which stratification by institutional type may reinforce spatial inequalities. The study shows that system expansion
has not improved regional representation, which has socio-economic implications.
