Hello World Of Steemit !

Academic: I received my PhD in Multicultural Education from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2004. I earned tenure at Westfield State University in 2014. I have taught courses in Multicultural Teaching, Inter-group Dialogue Facilitation, Cultural Diversity & Social Justice, and Anti-Racist Education.

My research area is whiteness research and critical discourse analysis, explicating how Whiteness is reproduced in everyday narratives. I am a two-time winner of the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year. I resigned from Westfield State and currently served as a lecturer at the University of Washington. My work on White Fragility has been featured in Salon, NPR, Slate, Alternet, the Atlantic, The New York Times, and The Seattle Times.

Professional: I have been a consultant and trainer for more than 20 years on racial and social justice issues.I was appointed to co-design the City of Seattle’s Race and Social Justice Initiative Anti-Racism training (with Darlene Flynn). I have worked with a wide-range of organizations including private, non-profit, and governmental.

Personal: “I grew up poor and white. While my class oppression has been relatively visible to me, my race privilege has not. Before I try to reveal how the race shapes my life, I have gained deeper insight by placing race in the center of my analysis and asking how each the position of my other groups has made me socialized and confused with racism. In doing so, I have been able to deal more deeply with my many places and how they work together to achieve racism. I now distinguish between my growing up poor and white, for my experience of poverty would have been different had I not been white” .

I will be writing about stuff, stuff not related to each other but interesting stuff, they might be article, gags, facts or even memes but they all will be fun to read.

Please welcome me to steemit community with a open heart.
