[Marxism] Working Class Studies/Working Class Academics

["Michael Hoover" <hooverm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

below is - slightly altered - portion of post
that appeared on working class studies list, 
any thoughts...  mh

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?
