“Things Get Glossed Over”

Abstract: This article investigates the ways that White teachers approach issues of race, racism, and White supremacy in White-dominated educational settings. Drawing from data from a yearlong qualitative research study, the article uses discourse analysis, critical studies of Whiteness, and feminist theory to detail 15 rhetorical, behavioral, analytical, and interactional strategies that participants used to insulate themselves from implication in social inequality. The article demonstrates how participation in these s… Show more

“…Moreover, excising race from our core discussions as Australian educators is reflective of a broader culture of whiteness characteristic of Australian tertiary settings (Gustone, 2009). For Douglas and Halas (2013), this culture can be seen in patterned racial exclusions that result in a predominance of white people being represented at all levels of the academy, and in curricula and learning environments that habitually deny a 'non-white' reality by, among other means, avoiding discussions that are likely to create tensions amongst predominantly white cohorts (Aveling, 2002;Haviland, 2008). These patterned omissions create exclusionary sites that render calls for 'inclusion' meaningless in the face of institutional racism (Pearce, 2003, p. 273), details of which we are mindful given our presence as white educators, which can engrain the racial assumptions we seek to challenge.…”

“…Färgblindheten har vidare analyserats i klassrumsforskning och olika pedagogiska miljöer. Flera amerikanska skolforskare har talat om att färgblindheten går hand i hand med att pedagoger, som en medveten strategi, är tysta om hudfärg (Castagno, 2008;Haviland 2008;Pollock 2004). Denna tystnad är inte en glömska eller försummelse, utan tvärtom ett medvetet pedagogiskt förhållningssätt som innefattar ett moraliskt ställningstagande: Det färgblinda klassrummet hyllar mångfald och understryker att alla är lika (jfr Jonsson, 2018;Jonsson & Milani, 2009).…”

“…Och den färgblinda antirasistiska lärarens tystnad om hudfärg kan i sin tur fungera som ett sätt att undvika att visa förutfattade meningar eller att riskera att kritiseras för att särbehandla elever. Det är ett förhållningssätt som i en första anblick är svårt att invända mot -men Castagno (2008) menar att den aktiva tystnaden om ras kan skapa en pedagogisk kultur där diskriminering ignoreras och där vithet återskapas som norm och status quo (se även Haviland, 2008). Stoll (2014) visar i en studie av amerikanska lärare som framhåller vikten av att inte tala om elevers hudfärg, att ansträngningen att hålla samtalsämnet borta bekräftar dess betydelse.…”

“…On the other hand, it is obvious that it can provide multiple and significant benefits to especially elementary and secondary school students in terms of raising and developing historical consciousness. However, taking into account the concerns of a part of the society and educators, it would not be wrong to state that it is necessary to present the novel through correct method, system and techniques to elementary school students (Alsup, 2014;Baran, 2015;Berk, 2005;Boyd & Bailey, 2009;Bucher & Manning, 2007;Burnett & Rollin, 2000;Bushman & McNerny, 2004;Davis, 2014;Enruquez, 2006;Gross, 1999;Hanson, 2009;Haviland, 2008;Hipple & Maupin, 2001;Ho, 2000;Houser, 2001;Hökkä & Eteläpelto, 2014;Hurlburt & Akhter, 2006;Jones et al, 2004;Johnson, 2007;Johnson, 2008;Kaplan, 2006;Latham, 2002;Lea, 2006;Lehman & Crook, 1998;Liang, 2002;Nikolajeva, 2009;Nikolajeva, 2014;O'sullivan, 2005;Petrone, 2013;Ryan & Hermann-Wilmarth, 2013;Schoch, 2016;Sikkink, 2006;Smagorinsky et al, 2008;Teyfur & Teyfur, 2012;Thomas & Beauchamp, 2011;Town, 2012;Town, 2014;Zeece & Hayes, 2004).…”
