Beyond Words: Applying the Colorblind Framework to Video Data

Thu, Nov 14, 9:30 to 10:50am, Foothill H - 2nd Level

Abstract

Colorblind ideology poses that individuals who deny, downplay and/or avoid racism often engage in similar behaviors - both verbal and nonverbal. Nonverbal colorblind behaviors signal extreme discomfort with a topic such as stuttering, pauses, and other silent gestures. However, few qualitative studies focus on nonverbal data. This project seeks to fill this gap in the literature by examining original video data from 100 virtual interviews with students across the United States. Our findings show support for the colorblind framework and gives suggestions for future qualitative studies to incorporate nonverbal data into their work.
