White Power, Privilege, and Supremacy: Roadblocks to equitable (extension) education

Friends,
Joseph Maiorano will be facilitating a Community Dialogue, “White Power, Privilege, and Supremacy: Roadblocks to equitable (extension) education” (see description below) on Aug 13 from 11-12 pm EST. If you have time, please join me for discussion and chat. He will draw from on resources from Leonardo, Z. 2004. The Color of Supremacy: Beyond the discourse of ‘white privilege’. Educational Philosophy and Theory, 36(2).

You can download the article as well as connection instructions on the OSU diversity web page http://extensionhr.osu.edu/diversity/diversity.htm

During May the CFAES Diversity Catalyst Team Community Dialogue, A post-racial US?, we discussed the continued presence and influence of race and racism on people of color in the US. Zeus Leonardo (2004) argues that white supremacy is behind this chronic condition. Join me on August 13 11-12 AM EST for the next community dialogue, White Supremacy Power, and Privilege: Roadblocks to equity in (extension) education. We will more closely examine the concept known as white supremacy, as well its related white power and privilege, as the conditions in which race and racism thrive. We will end with a discussion of how these issues affect the work we do, as well steps we can take to improve our pedagogical practices with learners who differ from us.
