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.
