Placing a spotlight on the classism inherent in higher education, this book highlights the realities that working-class students face when navigating elite higher education spaces and the rewards and challenges of supporting these students in such spaces.

Drawing on the life experiences of academics of working-class heritage and a Student Advisory Board, each chapter is positioned around a myth which is debunked with examples, practice, student perspectives, and research. Alongside this, the book serves as a support mechanism for practitioners to learn from working-class experiences in order to improve their own practice and be able to support their working-class students through the exploration of an intersectional, class-conscious pedagogy. It argues that classism should be a central item on the agenda of all those working in higher education if they are truly committed to making institutions spaces where all students feel they belong and have a voice.
