Seeing Shakira: Critical Reflections on Unspoken Rules of Whiteness
Douglas, Alison M.
Journal of College Reading and Learning, v52 n4 p230-235 2022
This critical reflective essay highlights three significant moments in one White woman's ongoing efforts to move beyond performative equity work. Through this narrative, the author sheds light on the unspoken rules of Whiteness that limited her engagement with race, reflecting on ways that colorblind etiquette prevented her from seeing her Black students and colleagues. The author employs deeply personal narrative to demonstrate the pivotal nature of individual reflection for White educators seeking to address educational inequities in their institutions and their individual practice.
