Abstract
ABSTRACT This research note considers tensions and challenges faced by our research team in raising questions about white researchers, problematizing whiteness in research, and confronting anti-Black racism in sport. We document important insights to disrupt how white privilege is connected to complicity in racism. In doing so, we critically reflect on the process of our work with a Black Lives Matters (BLM) task force and our shift towards proactive allyship. Specifically, we frame our discussion through the concepts of critical whiteness, critical humility, and discomfort as white researchers involved in a social justice project confronting anti-Black racism in sport. Finally, with a call to action we identify the need for researchers to practice flexibility in research design and embrace social movements that alter the linear approaches to data collection and analysis. We also critique research team composition with our commitment to disrupting racism by problematizing whiteness.
