Though Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training (DEI) has proliferated, facilitators still seek effective tools to support the growth of anti-racist consciousness in participants. An avenue with great promise around these needs is how shared reflexive vulnerability can promote the growth of this consciousness. Using the tools of microethnographic discourse analysis, an anti-racist book club at a large midwestern public school district was observed. Participants in this book club languaged and co-constructed ideas about their own anti-racist consciousness, and discussed how to promote change in their community in relation to anti-racism. Patterns occurred in (a) the ways facilitators modeled and promoted vulnerability, (b) the boundaries white teachers created around themselves while constructing their identities and responsibilities, (c) the assumptions participants had about institutional responses and cultural solutions, and (d) the challenges and opportunities participants identified as they tried to disrupt oppressive patterns in their schools. These findings reveal the effectiveness of shared reflexive vulnerability at creating spaces where educators can develop critical consciousness around issues of race and inequity. The other patterns made visible in the vulnerable space suggest important insights into how educators build boundaries based on race, grapple with institutional power and their relationship to it, and what hurdles and breakthroughs these conversations can illuminate.
