Consequently, going beyond white normativity is not a simple feat. Racism and normativity have been an entrenched part of many of cultures, societies, and…

This paper explores academics' interaction in an online forum, situated on the intranet of a South African university, where perceptions of racism within a larger discourse about transformation are shared and debated. The communicative model of democratic discourse directs the interpretation of an emancipatory discursive interaction, following a…

Children's cognitive styles are based…

There was a distinct black as opposed to a distinct white response to the test items; however, the races of the test givers did not influence the way the subjects responded to any of…
