History
A brief history of the WCA e-mail list and Conference.
Conference
The Eighth Annual Working-class Academics Conference will be held
during July 22-25, 2003 at Brunel University. This interdisciplinary conference
provides a forum for support, networking, and theorizing about the production
of knowledge in academia, assumptions that structure our interaction with
colleagues, and our interaction with the world at large, from the standpoint
of being an academic from a working class or working poor social background.

the conference site.
The Working-class
Academics E-mail list:
The working-class
academics listserv is dedicated to the discussion of issues pertaining to
being an academic from a working-class background. These issues may be personal,
research oriented, classroom oriented, or societal oriented. Before this
list went "public", we discussed such things as "coming-out" re: our class
backgrounds when teaching, reactions of non-working class colleagues to class
differences, etc.
