“…Blackwell (2010) and Seward (2014) have noted that pedagogical styles that focus on teaching White students to be culturally competent, and centering the educational needs of dominant group member students, is experienced as marginalizing to Students of Color and amounts to structural neglect of Students of Color. Logan et al (2014) discussed this tension in teaching strategies regarding race by noting that "though it is fundamentally anti-racist and activist in nature, the fact that this literature tends to assume and center white racial subjects, means that, ironically, it also reproduces a kind of white privilege" (p. 124).…”

In the new millennium, counseling psychologists have answered the call to address oppression related to intersectional identities. We have played a major role in the development of practice guidelines and policies, as well as in the application of ethical principles in cultural contexts. The Counseling Psychologist has served to disseminate information addressing needs and interventions for diverse communities. In this article, we review the history and impact of our efforts to ameliorate oppression. The pressing challenges of economic and educational disparities are highlighted along with how counseling psychologists are uniquely situated to meet the needs of the underserved. Our research, training, and practice are anchored in methodological pluralism, global helping paradigms, participatory engagement, and the promotion of liberation and radical healing. We offer recommendations to deconstruct current models and reconstruct a decolonized approach, embrace interdisciplinary collaboration to fight cultural encapsulation, strengthen prevention and advocacy, train a culturally diverse workforce, and prioritize intersectional research.

“…Undergraduate courses about race in predominantly White institutions are often geared to an assumed European American audience that needs to be cajoled, persuaded, and educated about the reality of racial discrimination and urged toward greater inclusion. 39 In these courses Black students are expected to function as expert and authentic voices that bring to life and affirm the insights of the instructor. The "good Black student" offers anecdotes that confirm the presence of racism and assist the instructor in bringing the good news to her classmates.…”

Exorcising “Racecraft”: Toward the RaceSyllabus

This paper, based on my experiences teaching Africana Studies at a Northeastern public university, argues that anti-racist pedagogy must include a RaceSyllabus which reveals to diverse students the artificiality of race as a man-made ideology, neither biologically rooted nor divinely-inspired. Barbara Jean Fields and Karen Fields use the term racecraft to describe how race ideology persists as a subterranean, almost occult force in American institutions and minds. In my teaching I have developed a syllabus which propels students into a novel mental terrain where the racial categories we inherit and inhabit are neither inevitable or natural, but instead are created and re-created by our national economic, political, social, and cultural choices. The RaceSyllabus includes two interrelated learning objectives which, together, propel students to see outside our society’s race-tinted lenses. 1. Students should consider that racial identities in the United States are historically specific. 2. Students should consider that racial identities are geographically specific. These two insights, when taught together, are remarkably effective in exposing the artificiality of our national racial myths.
