Erik Nylander’s research interest concerns the relationship between social origins, education and work. In his thesis “Jazz schooling”, prestigious Swedish prep schools in jazz education were taken as the site of both ethnographic and statistical inquiries with regards to processes of selection and artistic valuation. Apart from his thesis, Nylander has also published on topics such as transnational education and the sociology of elites.
