Dr. Kim A. Case, Professor of Psychology at University of Houston-Clear Lake, published her essay “Insider Without: Journey across the Working-Class Academic Arc” in the most recent issue of the Journal of Working-Class Studies. In the article, which is available here, she applies intersectional theory in connecting personal experiences with existing working-class studies scholarship. In introducing a three-phase academic arc, she writes to “raise awareness of the invisible academic class culture which invalidates working-class ways of being and knowledge production.”
Dr. Case provides lots of useful, and free, resources on intersectional and privilege pedagogies at her website, here.
