Whiteness: A Primer on the Core Barrier to Racial Liberation
A Lecture with Dr. Nolan Cabrera
What is Whiteness? How is it different than 'White people' and what is the relevance to racial liberation? Dr. Cabrera will explore the historical development and contemporary relevance of Whiteness to racial oppression and higher education practice. He will then explore how the path toward liberation requires engaging, disrupting, and transforming Whiteness in the process.
He will be signing copies of his new book, White Guys on Campus: Racism, White Immunity, and the Myth of "Post-Racial" Higher Education after the lecture.
Dr. Cabrera is a Professor in the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona. He studies the racial dynamics on college campuses, with a particular focus on Whiteness, worked with UT Austin's Project M.A.L.E.S., and is a former Director of a Boys & Girls Club in the San Francisco Bay Area. He completed graduate work at UCLA in Higher Education & Organizational Change and earned a BA from Stanford University in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.
