A Privileged Perspective: How a Racially Conscious White Male Teacher Interacts with His Students
Bennett, Jacob S.
Whiteness and Education, v3 n1 p56-75 2018
The goal of this interpretive study was to further research in the field of Whiteness studies by empirically analysing how a racially conscious white male teacher interacts with his minoritised and White students. The teacher's classroom was examined using Critical Race and Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). Two empirical assertions were developed based on the continual search for disconfirming evidence within interview and observational data. Results show the teacher participant created a learning environment in which his black minoritised students felt comfortable, trusted, and respected.
