Description
The Intersections of a Working-Class Academic Identity A Class Apart by Teresa Crew is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges faced by working-class academics in higher education. Despite ongoing efforts to promote diversity, universities continue to reflect and perpetuate traditional hierarchies that disadvantage those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Author Teresa Crew presents an informed alternative perspective on research into working-class individuals in academia, analysing statistical data and highlighting the systemic challenges they encounter. By examining the intersectional experiences of academics from diverse backgrounds, Crew builds a framework for understanding the classism that pervades academic institutions. This book offers valuable insights into the ways in which universities can be more inclusive and supportive of working-class scholars, providing recommendations for future research and practical guidance for those seeking to make a positive impact.
