Description
Power, Race, and Higher Education, (PDF) is an insightful exploration crafted by two distinguished academics, delving deeply into the intricate dynamics of power and race within the realm of higher education. Kakali Bhattacharya, a South Asian woman who uprooted her life in pursuit of graduate education in the United States, emerges as a formidable voice in academia. Her co-author, Kent Gillen, a White male scholar, embarks on a transformative journey under Kakali’s mentorship, leading him to confront his privileges and the societal structures that support them. Kent’s introspection ignites critical questions about his positionality, urging readers to examine how they benefit from systemic whiteness, regardless of their individual experiences and struggles.
This compelling narrative doesn’t just tell a story; it addresses profound themes relevant to cross-cultural qualitative research while highlighting the nuances of whiteness. It encourages readers to confront their vulnerabilities as they strive to foster partnerships and bridge cultural divides.
As an essential resource for both undergraduate and graduate courses, this ebook is perfect for programs in culture and race studies, qualitative methods in the social sciences and humanities, as well as advanced classes focusing on qualitative research writing. It serves as an invaluable tool for educators and graduate students involved in mentoring, guiding future cohorts in navigating these critical discussions.
