EDAD 5032-01 Critical Whiteness Studies: RS (0.83 Credits)

SUMMER 2021: IN PERSON. This course will examine the role of education in perpetuating white supremacy. Although whiteness is most typically associated with white people, this class will differentiate between individual notions of white racial identity and systems of ideological whiteness within a nation built around white supremacy. Given that Critical Whiteness Studies, as a discipline, came out of Critical Race Theory, this course will also examine the tenets of CRT. Thus, while race will be the central focus of this course, this class will draw on an intersectional approach by simultaneously examining other identity constructs, such as ethnicity, class, language, citizenship, gender, etc. As Leonardo (2005) states, "The hidden curriculum of whiteness saturates everyday school life and one of the first steps to articulating its features is coming to terms with its specific modes of discourse" (p. 44). As such, this class aims to uncover and demystify the hidden curriculum of whiteness in order to challenge and resist white supremacy and oppression in the realm of education and beyond
