Abstract
This chapter explores the consciousness of class that underpins my research interest in education policy. It focuses on what I know about relations of class, how I came to know it, and the present relationship between that knowledge and my research interest in policy. The first section explores the relationship between my educational biography and its policy context, focusing primarily on the construction of class, gender and learner identities within a secondary modern school of the early 1960s. Less immediately obvious was the construction and assumption of ‘whiteness’ and unproblematised ‘Britishness’. In this chapter, I highlight the understanding that identities are framed by their time and place; had I been born in 1984 rather than 1948, in France or Canada rather than England, into a middle-class rather than a working-class family, black rather than white, my biography would be very different. This is not simply due to the obvious differences in experience or privilege, but due also to the particularities of the education policies that operated at that time and place. In the second section I consider the relationship between my auto/biography and my interest in policy research.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
