| dc.description.abstract | this study examines whiteness from the perspectives of white college faculty. the participants in this study responded to a letter of invitation to volunteer for this study. a total of 12 white faculty participated in this study, including the researcher. nine participants were female, and 2 were male; 9 participants had 15 years or more of work experience with the college, and 2 participants had less than 5 years. data were collected through discussions with two focus groups. the data were coded first by a word analysis and followed by a text analysis to support and identify themes. the findings are presented in six themes: (a) colour prevails - right/white way; (b) privilege with a small "p"; (c) ethnicity and colour; (d) sameness - be like "us"; (e) immigrant syndrome; and (f) expectations of the education system. the focus group sessions also produced six recommendations : (1) there should be a preparation process for faculty offering diversity courses; (2) administrators should consider the experience and background of faculty being assigned courses with content on diversity issues and, if needed, offer professional development that thoroughly examines whiteness and diversity issues; (3) all faculty should engage in a discussion of whiteness that could better prepare faculty to deal with issues of diversity and build relationships with 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
of colour; (4) discussions of whiteness should be expanded to include all staff and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
, perhaps as a responsibility of the diversity committee, a subcommittee of academic council; (5) a specific course on whiteness could be offered in all programs; and (6) the college could develop a well-constructed media campaign that speaks a clear message of acceptance. | |
