Making Meaning of Whiteness: Exploring Racial Identity With White Teachers

by Alice McIntyre

McIntyre describes how a group of white middle- and upper-middle-class female student teachers examined their "whiteness" and how they, as current and future educators, might develop teaching strategies that aim to disrupt and eliminate the oppressiveness of white privilege in education. The group analyzed ways of making meaning about whiteness and thinking critically about race and racism, and explored how racial identity is implicated in the formation and implementation of teaching practices.

Some interesting perspectives, but I feel like the author left a lot of questions unasked that would have/could have changed the data in this study.
