The Alliance of Working-Class Academics (AWCA) is an international collective of working-class academics. Our aims are to help academic colleagues overcome class-based barriers and to amass data on the economic, social, and cultural challenges facing working class academics. We mentor and support working class students, and develop best practices on recruiting, retaining, and meaningfully advocating on behalf of working-class faculty, staff, and students. We aim to abolish global class discrimination. The AWCA hosts annual conferences across the UK, USA and Australia and online. More information on the work of the AWCA can be found here:

The conference theme: ‘Class, Race, Place: Exploring Intersectionality for Access to Higher Education Globally’, focuses on the intersecting aspects that limit, deter or impact access to tertiary education in Australia and across the world.
The conference will showcase research, practices and experiences of race, class, place, and gender intersectionality, and its impact on access, support and success in higher education. The conference begins online at 4:00pm (AEST) with a Welcome to Country, and introductions by the AWCA and NCRTJ. The conference will include two keynote lectures, a panel discussion, and conference presentations. Please see the agenda.

The conference is open to everyone, especially those who are interested in: Indigenous Studies, Class Studies, Gender Studies, Inequality and Poverty Studies, International Relations, History, and Education.
