Special thanks to Darrell Allen (University of Michigan), Kennedy Clark (Kalamazoo Valley Community College), Carolyn Hetrick (University of Michigan), and Naivedya Parakkal (University of Michigan) for helping to co-facilitate an anti-racism workshop with teaching candidates!
Our work together examined four focus texts: Dismantling Racism, '“‘Things Get Glossed Over’: Rearticulating the Silencing Power of Whiteness in Education” (Haviland, 2008), “Skinfolk Ain’t Always Kinfolk: The Dangers of Assuming and Assigning Inherent Cultural Responsiveness to Teachers of Color” (Cherry-McDaniel, 2017), andWhite Fragility (DiAngelo, 2018).
We applied the ideas from these texts to the University of Michigan Teaching Works High Leverage Teaching Practices.
I want to thank these thoughtful, critical, and compassionate practitioners and scholars for their support in co-facilitating this workshop. This work can be tremendously difficult and challenging, and working together in community with you has been joyful and uplifting!
