  • More about Whiteness in the Ivory Tower: Why Don't We Notice the White Students Sitting Together in the Quad?


Whiteness is the foundation of racism and racial violence in higher education institutions, and this book aims to center the harm it causes to communities of Color. It explores what academic freedom and tenure could look like if they divorced themselves from Whiteness, demonstrates how campus-based segregation is largely a problem created and maintained by White students, and offers a critical but concurrently hopeful view that anti-racist futures are both possible and necessary. It is essential reading for university and college professors, scholars, diversity officers, student affairs professionals, and anyone looking for ways to center the needs of historically marginalized students.

Whiteness is a pervasive and deeply embedded issue in higher education institutions, contributing to racism and racial violence. This book aims to center the harm caused by Whiteness to communities of Color and transform practices, policies, and research. It challenges the notion that academic freedom and tenure are divorced from Whiteness and demonstrates how campus-based segregation is largely a problem created and maintained by White students. Readers will gain insights into critical social analysis and the possibilities of human liberation from oppression. This book is essential reading for university and college professors, scholars, diversity officers, student affairs professionals, and anyone looking to center the needs of historically marginalized students. It extends the work of Beverly Daniel Tatum's classic text, "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" and explores what truly embedding antiracism and decolonial praxis into higher education institutions could look like. It uses Critical Race Theory to analyze the cause of racism and the effect Whiteness has on people of Color. It offers a critical but concurrently hopeful view that anti-racist futures are both possible and necessary.
