“…Desai (2010) argues that students should develop "racial literacy to identify and critique racial discourse in popular culture, media, and other sites of visual culture" (p. 23). Kraehe, Acuff, Slivka, and Pfeiler-Wunder (2015) also note that talking about race and racism in the art classroom is one way to counter racial injustices by bringing to light the narratives of people affected by racial oppression. Nevertheless, teaching about racism is not an easy task in that it is accompanied by intellectual and emotional challenges for both teachers and students.…”

This article discusses how Internet memes associated with racism can be analyzed and pedagogically utilized through the theoretical frame of Critical Race Theory. The assumption of the study is that Internet memes, as a site of ideological reproduction, can show one aspect of racial discourse. I consider Internet memes regarding race and racial issues as racial humor in this study. I gathered a total of 85 memes addressing or connected to racism primarily from the Memecenter website (www.memecenter.com). In this study, I analyzed their forms and content to consider how these memes deal with racism in different ways. Methodologically, this study implements critical discourse analysis in combination with multimodal discourse analysis. Through this study, I found that the majority of Internet memes about racism perpetuate colorblindness by mocking people of color and denying structural racism. I argue that challenging colorblindness through critical analysis of Internet memes and creating counter- memes will enhance students’ critical awareness of racial issues.

“…Historically, Asian and Pacific Islanders have been featured in a typical stereotypical way in popular media (Besana et al, 2019). As many African Americans stress the negative stereotypes of Black people in media and popular culture (Kraehe & Acuff, 2021), Asian Americans also see how they have impacted our lives beyond mere jokes or entertainment. We are surprised to learn that many negative images and social vile of Asian Americans reappeared recently due to the pandemic and COVID-19 (Hussain, 2020).…”

This article discusses the urgent issues and concerns about anti-Asian racism in our society and provides several pedagogical strategies to counter anti-Asian racism. We begin by discussing the history and context of anti-Asian racism in the US, from which we trace the historical origins and contexts of anti-Asian racism, violence, and stereotypes in popular culture and media. After that, we share several anti-Asian racism teaching strategies and practices, drawn from and influenced by the creative artworks of Asian contemporary artists such as Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, and Monyee Chau, who demonstrate subverting racism against Asians during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Finally, after engaging our students in anti-Asian racism lessons, we share their art projects and written testimonials about anti-Asian racism. As a result, we strongly encourage educators to use, in their art curriculum, both history

“…Manifestly, the indian is an occidental misnomer, an overseas enactment that has no referent to real native cultures or communities." Vizenor, 1999, p. vii As a cisgendered white, male, artist, educator and researcher, I continue to experience my position working with those whose racial-socio-cultural-educational experience is different than mine, as I have written from and continue to define an alliance position in context with Indigenous artists, scholars, and educators (Kraehe, Acuff, Slivka, & Pfieler-Wunder, 2015;Slivka, 2015aSlivka, , 2015bSlivka, , 2016. I advance critical understandings of the construction and deployment of Whiteness in art education contexts intended to decolonize White discourses of identity politics, cultural censorship as White privilege and power (Acuff, 2018;Knight, 2006;Kraehe, Hood, & Travis, 2015) in relation to Indigenous peoples, arts, and their cultures to generate alliance positions with Indigenous-self-determining outcomes (Grande, 2004;Smith, 2012).…”

This manuscript critically examines the deployment and pervasiveness of Whiteness defined by structural power/knowledge relationships related to Indigenous ways of knowing and the arts. Spaces of inquiry include: settler colonial structures that perpetuate Indigenous cultural censorship exemplified during a three-day, professional development “Institute” that focused upon Native American art, education, and scholarship across a western-American tri-state region; additionally, the print exchange, “Home: Contemporary Indigenous Artists Responding,” is leveraged to re | center Indigenous arts in arts education, further informing critical multicultural art education and decolonizing research methodologies.
