Abstract | This paper draws on both a theoretical understanding and a semi-autoethnographic approach of the lived experience of working class adult learners in higher education during the COVID-19 global pandemic. In particular, the paper warns of the doxic notion of current working class struggles being singularly attributed to COVID-19. Rather it is vital to assert that the societal structures that frame and reproduce inequality -- written by the dominant classes and cultures -- are the root of the problem. The daily struggles of working class adult learners have been amplified by the pandemic, but through Freire's love as a political force, there is space for radical hope. (As Provided). |
