"It Reeks of First-Wave Whiteness": A Reimagined Critical Whiteness Studies and Feminist of Color Teacher Education
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v35 n7 p737-743 2022
In this article, we offer the perspective of a feminist of Color analysis on how teaching has been constructed into a race, gender, and class mold that purposely includes certain bodies--namely white middle-class women--while excluding anyone who does not fit the mold. More specifically, we use intersectionality to analyze the interplay between teachers and the structuring of teaching. In doing so, we respond to the recent compartmentalization of the critical whiteness studies (CWS) field by putting CWS in conversations with feminist of Color perspectives. We also provide take away points for why a cohesive CWS field, in dialogue with other critical conversations, is essential in making visible the larger social landscape of power in education, a landscape in which we, as scholars and educators, are all embedded.
