what difference does it make to identify oneself with the working class in higher education, an institution that, among other things, perpetuates class inequities?
One reason working-class studies exists is to increase attention to the working class in the academy -- as a subject for serious study but also as a legitimate position from which to speak.
So my question is this: what will it take to create such a change, to generate greater respect and visibility for working-class people and working-class studies in the academy?
