Examines the experiences of 89 academics who, in their choice of labor education and labor studies as a field, appear to be trying to maintain ties to the working class as a way to cope with alienation in the world of academia. Responses illustrate the role of social class in career choice and achievement. (SLD)

Peer reviewedCobble, Dorothy Sue; Kessler-Harris, Alice – Journal of American History, 1993
Reports labor history coverage in seven college-level introductory history courses. Finds that all incorporated some material about unions and offered an interpretation of their effectiveness. Also finds the absence of gender and race as shaping forces in labor history to be the most neglected topic. (CFR)
