Teachers and Social Class Orientation: An Empirical Note Based on Comparisons with Different Social Classes in SwedenFootnote¹

1. The study reanalyzes material from a research project which was funded by the Swedish Research Council for the Humanities and the Social Sciences. Göran Ahme and Håkon Leiulfsrud helped me to obtain data and do computer work from this project, ‘Class Structure and Class Consciousness in Sweden’.
