Whiteness in the Classroom: What Can We Do About It?

In the 21st century classroom, more and more educators are called upon to teach to transgress - to push against the boundaries, to challenge racism, sexism, classism and all forms of oppression in the world to support others and themselves to achieve freedom to live fully in the world. This discussion series focuses on creating learning spaces that enable students and faculty alike to develop our capacity to think critically about ourselves and our lives within our disciplinary foci and beyond.

Through conversation and a case study approach, participants in this session will explore the following questions: What is "Whiteness"? Why is it important to be able to critique Whiteness before decentering it? Where and how does Whiteness operate in the classroom? How can we disrupt and decenter Whiteness in the classroom? The "We" refers to white and BIPOC faculty and students.

Facilitated by Leslie Thielen-Wilson, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Gender Equality & Social Justice
