I know people on here are scandalized that someone might classify a public school teacher as "working class" because she might have a masters or even PhD in education but can we agree it's at least as weird to call the guy who owns the local Wendy's franchise "working class" because he has a GED?

It's unjust to group academics @CarlaMurphy.bsky.social, @jnelz.bsky.social, @suerobinsonuw.bsky.social, @taliastroud.bskysocial, & @andreawenzel.bsky.social, as each has their specialties and projects, but their collective rigor provides the framing and evidence that all our work desperately needs.

He's such a "city kid". Which is a throughline for all of us I don’t care if you're from Bensonhurst, Gun Hill Road or South Side Jamaica.

I think your guidance also applies to (what remains of) journalism. It makes sense for tech to corner the market in knowledge-creation. It doesn't make sense for journalism and academia to cede their foundations.
