Reviews

‘This ground-breaking book brilliantly addresses classism in higher education through an innovative collaborative approach. By weaving together diverse voices from working-class students and academics across institutions, the authors offer invaluable insights and practical solutions. An essential read for anyone committed to creating truly inclusive academic spaces.’ Teresa Crew, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, Bangor University, UK. ‘This book is an exciting new publication that explores reflections from working-class academics. The chapters centre around ‘myths’, with each chapter examining a different myth. The authors have skilfully and cleverly woven in working-class voices from the sector of HE in the UK, using a lived experience methodology and approach. This makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature on social class and higher education.’ Iona Burnell Reilly, Senior Lecturer in Education, University of East London, UK.
