Elaine Keane – Educational Review, 2025
This paper is about social class and the teaching profession.

Garth Stahl; Shaneeza Fugurally; Yating Hu; Tin Nguyen; Sarah McDonald – Australian Educational Researcher, 2025
Working-class young men are often pathologised for their perceived lack of white-collar career aspirations.

This study examines how first-generation (FG) college students make meaning of their social class during their first-year of college.

Mun Yuk Chin; Jay Jeffries; Mindi N. Thompson – Journal of College Student Development, 2024
Results from a growing body of correlational and qualitative research have illustrated the ways in which students who are poor or working class manage their social class identities in higher education. Strategies of class code-switching (e.g., altering language) and disassociation (e.g., hiding status) were commonly used by students to manage the…
