As discourses and programming to support diversity and inclusion
across higher education are intensifying, Leaps of Faith: Stories
from Working-Class Academics presents a collection of narratives
that highlights the "on-the-ground" experiences of working-class
students and scholars. These are stories of negotiation,
transition, and challenge. These are stories of struggle. These are
stories of beating the odds. The early works of Ryan and Sackrey
(1984), Sennett and Cobb (1993), and Dews and Law (1996) raised the
voices of working class academics, and the subject of class in
higher education has gained traction-especially with the increasing
focus on the enrollment and persistence of first-generation college
students. This project situates contributor stories in adult
learning and development, with the goal of enhancing dialogue and
increasing understanding of a still-hidden population in the
academy. Leaps of Faith: Stories from Working-Class Academics is a
compelling collection of reflections from working-class students
and scholars from diverse demographic and geographic backgrounds
who are currently navigating various transition points and career
stages. Leaps of Faith: Stories from Working-Class Academics
presents the strengths and gifts of the scholar-contributors and
the opportunity to "turn the stories" through accessible and
meaningful reflective "telling." The collection concludes with a
discussion of salient implications for working-class students and
scholars, those who support their learning and development, and
higher education institutions and programs.
