Abstract

Critical Whiteness in academia reflects challenges surrounding both how Whiteness maintains challenges for academics and how academia itself as a bastion of knowledge may play into Whiteness itself. Throughout this section, contributors identify varying ways that universities have been sites of resistance, expression and creation of new ideas and are places that should seek to challenge ideas critically. These chapters speak to diverse ways in which resistance is a fundamentally significant in academia to disrupt the dominance discourses of Whiteness, and authors offer suggestions to how they can be deconstructed.
