The Performativity of Whiteness and Anti-Black Racism in an Academic Supervisory Relationship
Section 9: Critical Whiteness Studies
From: Critical Social Work Praxis
$2.20
In this chapter, the authors reflect and share their experiences in their distinct roles of advisor and advisee on a master of social work thesis titled: “Increasing Awareness of Racial Identity Among White Social Workers — A Narrative Approach.” Whiteness, as Régine King and Joy Eidse show in this chapter, is enacted in interpersonal and professional relationships in ways that demonstrate the intersectional and interlocking relationship among race, gender and whiteness. A praxis informed by critical whiteness studies, King and Eidse suggest, requires that we constantly uncover and challenge the operation of whiteness and racism in everyday interactions.
