A story in the new issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses the
growth of the field of working-class studies in academe. The story
describes the research academics are conducting, and the concerns of some
scholars that the academic focus on issues of race and gender has resulted
in far too little attention to issues of class. The Chronicle is sponsoring
an on-line discussion on the issues raised by the story and invites members
of this list to read the article and join the discussion at:
