...
Having attended PWI’s (predominantly white institutions) during the years I did pursue higher education, I was no stranger to the frustrations of micro aggressions, tone policing and silencing that black women face on campuses in particularly distressing ways.
...
But one thing that bothered me most about PWI classrooms were the ways that no matter how much a school pushed for diversity in their student body or faculty hires I never saw that reflect in the teaching materials.
...
I continued to sit in classrooms where whiteness was centered, and white males seemed to be the only voices of authority or expertise as black voices continued to be valued mostly in spaces where they were “explaining race”.
...
Many industry cannons are whitewashed and carry heavy loads of the racism and sexism that American academia was built on. It’s nauseating really.
...
I have a challenge for you: #ScourTheSyllabus🔍
...
I’m interested to know do/did your teachers offer insight from marginalized communities?
