The edited transcript from my talk is up: "I have severe ethical concerns about attempting to bolster working class support for it [degrowth]. Currently, rather than serving to emancipate the working class... our social class is being de-emancipated." workingclassclimatealliance.com/written-resour…

In 2018, I could find little literature on how being #workingclass might influence learning and engagement in HE. So I wrote 👇. This was inspired by watching the way working class nurses used humour (or inclusive forms of banter) to engage my dad at the bedside of my dying mum.

Get in touch with Craig if you would like to attend the next AWCA Doctoral Support Group. It is a lovely group and very validating when thinking about classed experiences of doctoral study and academia more broadly 💫

Hive mind: can anybody direct me to the percentage of working-class (medical) doctors? I have the Social Mobility Commission report from 2016, and Friedman et al's 2017 study, but wondered if there is anything more recent? Thank you 💫 Alliance of Working-Class Academics
