stolen from Robin DiAngelo
(in case the title of the slide looks spooky to you:)
Whiteness studies is the study of the structures that produce white privilege,[1] the examination of what whiteness is when analyzed as a race, a culture, and a source of systemic racism,[2] and the exploration of other social phenomena generated by the societal compositions, perceptions and group behaviors of white people.[3]
Robin DiAngelo has an amazing book called White Fragility. It's not super thick, and unfortunately everyone who desperately needs to read it will refuse to even look at the title.
quite true!! i appreciate Dr. DiAngelo but YIKES i wish she had picked a better title ๐ญ marketing unfortunately works
