Abstract
This personal essay explores the social, philosophical and ethical issues that arise when individuals and groups self-identify as a particular class. The broadening of what class is understood as through various academic and creative disciplines has also opened up questions and problems that need addressing. Drawing on sociology, environmental, evolutionary and social psychology, I unpack different markers of class and identity, their interplay and interconnections, and consider the fragmentation of class-specific cultures and communities. These ideas are interrogated through personal reflection, literary criticism and with reference to popular culture to appraise the ways class focus has shifted and the obstacles arising in its wake.
