Intra-Educational Classism

How the Liberal Middle Classes Dominate the Working Classes in Education

Intra-Educational Classism answers these vital questions:

*Why do the liberal full-time professors and administrators focus their energies only on social issues while adjunct and working class educators deal with economic insecurity?

*Why do liberal full-time professors and administrators fail to support their adjunct colleagues in the fight for job security, healthcare, higher wages and a retirement fund?

*Why do liberal full-time professors prevent adjunct instrutors from meaningful participation in union activities?

Intra-Educational Classism critiques the pedagogical (and social) theories that underlie liberal middle-class practice in educational institutions, which ultimately hurt adjunct labor and the working class.

It deeply analyzes the texts of pedagogues and theorists, such as Zaretta Hammond, Gary Howard, bell hooks, Lilia Bartolomé, Paulo Freire and others to highlight the need to challenge intra-educational classism perpetrated by liberal full-time professors and administrators.
