Winner of the 2026 Working-Class Studies Association Jake Ryan and Charles Sackrey AwardIn recent years, UK higher education (HE) has sought to pursue more inclusive practices. However, we are yet to fully understand the experiences of a breadth of working-class people in HE. This edited collection uniquely brings together working-class reflections in the different roles and professions that exist in UK universities.Focusing on understudied groups including working-class academics, students, professional services, administrative staff, ancillary workers and parents, the chapters explore definitions of class, reflections of classism, class-based experiences, inequalities, and theory in conjunction with roles and professional experiences. Guided by a collaborative and community oriented editorial process which embodies the ethos of working-class communities, the collection focuses on five main section areas: academics, students and student journeys, pedagogy, teaching & learning, non-academic staff in HE, and a final section dedicated to practical steps for the future.A first of its kind, observing the experiences of working-class people across the breadth of UK higher education, this is a breath of fresh air on this subject. It is compelling reading for sociological researchers of class and society, academics across disciplines who have shared lived experiences, those in higher education management and those who work with social class and social mobility in industry.

Contributing to a wider body of literature which understands the perspectives and experiences of working-class academics and working-class students, Living Parallel Lives is the first of its kind to understand the position of professional services and administrative staff and their class-based experiences of higher education in the UK.Providing a novel approach to studies of social class in higher education and representing the voices of a group of stakeholders which is not currently accounted for in academic research, Pilgrim-Brown’s unique study contributes to the inclusion and widening participation agenda by illuminating part of the political economy of UK higher education which is currently under-researched. Informed by interviews with professional services staff, this research contributes a much-needed understanding of how university culture is seen, performed and experienced by those working within the institution. The author shows how only through this lens can recommendations be made to improve the inclusivity and equitable participation of higher education organisations. The chapters not only scope the experiences and notion of being a working-class professional services worker in UK universities, but the book also makes robust policy recommendations at a local and national level, in order to overhaul the organisational cultural landscape of UK higher education.A timely and needed lens into the dynamics of cultural capital within the realm of professional service work in UK higher education, this is ground-breaking reading for sociologists of education, higher education professionals and management scholars interested in professional people in a new context.
