What's in Your Wallet? Not Much Green, but a Whole Lotta White
Locke, Leslie Ann
Whiteness and Education, v2 n1 p32-47 2017
Here, I include parts of my personal positionality or story in terms of my privileges (white skin, cisgender, straight, educational attainment, ability, language) alongside my marginalities (low income). Specifically, I highlight how while I never had much green (i.e. cash/income), I have had lots of white (privilege). Relatedly, I explain how my social class complicates, but never extinguishes, whiteness; and how I strive to use those privileges and marginalities in the academy to critique and push back against the pervasiveness and ethos of white-centred norms and values.
