Abstract

The US Academy has a racism problem. Such racism leads to both devaluation and racial violence aimed at Faculty of Color, and particularly women in multiple disciplines. This chapter suggests everyday systemic racism is a normalized feature that continues to privilege white, hegemonic and Eurocentric structures and forms of knowledge-production while devaluing others. Further, attempts to challenge such supremacies are immediately countered by calls and charges of incivility and non-collegiality; making those who identify the sites of institutional racism as the problem. This chapter examines the costs of unmasking institutional racism as it bears on constructions of both Whiteness, and status quo power imbalances.
