Document Summary
This work is meant to disrupt and transform white supremacy. White students requite a disproportionate amount of attention, energy and support as they develop their racial selves. There is a balance between understanding their needs but not allowing need to dominate classroom or co-curricular space. Centrally focusing on white student identity development can reinforce white privilege. Whiteness, critical whiteness studies, and intersectionality: whiteness is a racial discourse, a social concept that privileges white identified people and marginalizes people of color. Intersectionality- multiple mutually reinforcing spheres of oppression that contextualize and shape the lived experience of marginalized people. White supremacy- the system of racial oppression that contextualizes engaging with white students on campus and white people more generally. White racial identity development and the campus environment: racial identity development for whites occurred in two phases- 1. Abandonment of racism: contact, disintegration and reintegration, 2. Evolution of a nonracist identity: pseudo- independence, immersion, and autonomy.
