Coming to Terms: Teaching Systemic Racism and (the Myth of) White Supremacy
Gaynor, Tia Sherèe; Lopez-Littleton, Vanessa
Journal of Public Affairs Education, v28 n2 p211-225 2022
Teaching about systemic racism and the myth of white supremacy to the next cadre of public administrators is critical as it supports students' abilities to challenge dominant paradigms and center counternarratives; both serve a purpose in advancing toward a more just and equitable society. This paper offers insight into the development and implementation of course content -- across two universities in two different sociopolitical contexts -- that helps students define, examine, and apply social justice terms that advances training for public service. Exposure to such content challenges students to consider ways in which social, economic, and political factors influence life chances and allows students to better understand how power and privilege perpetuate status quo inequities for marginalized populations.
