“…Perhaps as Attfield (2007) critically comments, there is a presumption that entry into academia is a 'ticket out of the working classes ' (p. 33). But the material conditions of one's social heritage has a lasting impact on one's identity, especially in a hierarchical institution like academia (Crew, 2020). The classic texts on these 'Strangers in Paradise' (Ryan & Sackrey, 1984), suggest that the academy is not a welcoming environment, as the different worlds working-class academics (WCA) inhabit are often in conflict with each other.…”

One of Teresa Crew's interlocutors summed these accounts up very concisely: "I am playing catch up, economically and culturally, in comparison to those who had a smoother transition into academia" (Crew, 2020: 40).…”

“…Finally, it is necessary to prioritize the development of critical and reflective debates about the situation of young academics, since, ultimately, the future of the university and of science is in their hands. If no action is taken, this situation may lead to the loss of bright students who could make a significant contribution to research and knowledge (Crew, 2020), which, as a consequence, will have a direct impact on science and universities.…”
