#CampusSoWhite: Exposing White Institutional Dominance in Higher Education
Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium implicates higher education as a violent space by qualitatively exploring the impact of various oppressive policies and norms. Paper 1 maps challenges to creating healthy campus racial climates in the midst of overt white supremacist organizing, while Paper 2 conceptualizes higher education as a space of racial trauma for students of color. Paper 3 examines a case of an institution’s “Principles of Community” and highlights how these principles actively protect alt-light organizations rather than their espoused values of diversity and inclusion. Finally, Paper 4 explores possibilities of mobilization against symbolic violence by centering the experiences of queer, femme and brown graduate students as “outsiders within.”
