“…They assume before the fact that whites regard whiteness rather than nationality, ethnicity, religion, or class as the main factor that separates the civilized from the uncivilized. And, they oversimplify the challenges that nonwhites face by implying that their problems are largely race-related and hence attributable to racism (Croteau et al 2002;Hartigan 2002;Kolchin 2002;Mansfield and Kehoe 1994;Warren and Twine 1997).…”

Public Sociology or Partisan Sociology? The Curious Case of Whiteness Studies

This paper identifies the common themes in 245-plus refereed articles on whiteness studies that were published in academic journals after 1992 in an attempt to assess the implications of whiteness studies for the discipline of sociology. Of special interest is the relationship between whiteness studies and Michael Burawoy's call for public sociology. I argue that the emerging field of whiteness studies identifies itself as a public sociology that is infused by the moral vision of critical sociology. Nevertheless, the field does not accept professional sociology as Burawoy defined it. The ontological, epistemological, and soteriological foundations of whiteness studies encourage the field to pander to one segment of the public-the marginalized-and condemn another segment of the public-"privileged whites," thus rendering impossible a democratic dialogue on one of the most basic social issues of our time. Conflating Western epistemology with whiteness encourages a misreading of American social scientific work on race relations, thus opening the door to a so-called hermeneutics of suspicion. The result is not an innocuous "pop" sociology, but a partisan sociology, whose implications should caution sociologists against an uncritical embracing of public sociology.

“…Hence, educators could address this perceived threat by taking more time with male students to process emotional responses and examine perceived outcomes of losing such privileges. Educators can also address varying other intersecting identities for men, and the levels of privilege and power associated with each, to aid men in identifying one identity associated with a loss of privilege (e.g., being homosexual, possessing a disability, or growing up underprivileged), which may increase their understanding and empathy for persons of color (Croteau, Talbot, Lance, & Evans, 2002).…”

This study sought to determine changes in 121 White counseling students following their participation in an experiential, race-based course taught in a group format. Pre-and postoutcomes were reported based on instruments that measured White racial identity development, White privilege, color blindness, and the costs of racism. Findings indicated significant changes according to the majority of measures, although with certain distinctions. Findings are discussed in light of the current literature.Keywords: multicultural counselor training, racism, Whiteness, counselor education, group counseling Este estudio trató de determinar los cambios en 121 estudiantes blancos de consejería después de su participación en un curso experiencial basado en la raza que se enseñó en formato de grupo. Se comunicaron los resultados previos y posteriores basándose en instrumentos que midieron el desarrollo de la identidad racial blanca, el privilegio blanco, la falta de percepción de color y los costos del racismo. Los hallazgos indicaron cambios significativos según la mayoría de mediciones, aunque con ciertas distinciones. Se discuten los hallazgos a la luz de las investigaciones actuales.Palabras clave: formación multicultural de consejeros, racismo, identidad blanca, educación de consejeros, consejería en grupo

“…For example, Arab American women may experience oppression for being an ethnic minority, and also based on societal sexism. Intersectionality research also looks at the interaction of having a privileged and an oppressed identity (Croteau, Talbot, Lance, & Evans, ; Spanierman, Bear & Todd, ). So for example, some Jewish people may experience white racial privilege in the United States, but also experience religious oppression and anti‐Semitism for being Jewish.…”

The tensions from the Israeli occupation of Palestine reach around the globe and heated debates over the struggles of these two peoples are evident on U.S. college campuses. The power imbalance represented in the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis is replicated on college campuses. BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) is a response to this inequality, is a movement to end the occupation, and has raised the issue of normalization. Teaching about this conflict presents particular challenges for faculty who negotiate this highly contested issue in classrooms or campus communities, and intergroup dialogue is an important pedagogy that can be used. It is critical to address normalization in intergroup dialogue. We discuss examples and themes of normalization in intergroup dialogue, and present pedagogical and other strategies to prevent and address normalization in intergroup dialogue and in other similar intergroup contact approaches with Arab or Palestinian and Jewish or Israeli participants.
