About this book
About the authors
About this book
This book examines how a working-class habitus interacts with the elite culture of academia in higher
education. Drawing on extensive qualitative data and informed by the work of Pierre Bourdieu, the
author presents new ways of examining impostor syndrome, alienation and microaggressions: all
common to the working-class experience of academia. The book demonstrates that the term ‘working-
class academic’ is not homogenous, and instead illuminates the entanglements of class and academia.
Through an examination of such intersections as ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, and place, the author
demonstrates the complexity of class and academia in the UK and asks how we can move forward so
working-class academics can support both each other and students from all backgrounds.
