Fleshing out Enactments of Whiteness in Antiracist Pedagogy: Snapshot of a White Teacher Educator's Practice
Ohito, Esther O.
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v28 n1 p17-36 2020
This article paints a partial portrait of a White, antiracist, university-based teacher educator in the United States, and provides a snapshot of her antiracist pedagogy in practice. This snapshot is juxtaposed against (her own and others') theorising of antiracist pedagogy. Using reflexivity as methodology, I pay attention to my noticings of my participant's antiracist pedagogy as evidenced through her navigation of a racialised, affectively charged classroom encounter involving the teacher educator, a Black student, and me, a Black researcher. I analyze the embodied and affective aspects of that experience through a racialised lens and find that the teacher educator's (re)actions represent an enactment of Whiteness. The enactment relates to the enfleshed material body. Thus, I contend that the development of an antiracist pedagogy that moves beyond rhetoric in resisting rather than reinforcing Whiteness -- and therefore, that contributes meaningfully to racial justice -- requires attunement to affects produced via interembodiment, in theory and practice.
