Race, Racism, and Whiteness

We're Not the Same: An Autoethnographic Analysis of the Realities of Race | 2020 Diversity Symposium

Presented by Stephanie Zee, Mitchell Holston, and Jen Dawrs

Whiteness, white supremacy, and racism are systems that impact how people differently experience daily life in a racialized society. This session features three presenters who have experienced these systems from three different racial identities. The presenters will use an autoethnographic approach to share their personal experiences in their race and how these systems have impacted their experiences from a personal and theoretical standpoint.

Participants will leave this session with a deeper understanding of the complex effects whiteness, white supremacy, and racism have on different individual experiences and how to be conscious of how these differences develop.
