White Activists Examining Their Privilege within Person of Color Led Organizations
Martynovych, Evan
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Prescott College
The research question asked in this paper is: "How can white activists working within person of color led food justice organizations examine their own privilege to more effectively support and contribute to food justice work?" The topics of literature used to inform this study were Whiteness Education/Anti-Racism, Food Justice, Alternative Food, Food Oppression, Gentrification, Gentrification and Food, Environmental Gentrification, Sustainability Education, and Ecopsychology and Healing. To answer this question, three separate orientation sessions were designed to educate white people on how to work effectively, and in a culturally responsive manner, within a person of color led food justice organization. These sessions were for white people 18 years of age or older that volunteer at Hilltop Urban Gardens (HUG). Data was collected through audio recorded sessions and post orientation surveys. Critical ethnography was the methodology used to collect, analyze and synthesize the data. This research is significant because it has provided HUG, a food justice organization led by Black people, a tool to address whiteness within the food movement on a local level. This study contributes to the body of literature about anti-racism work in food justice specifically organizations that are led by Black people and people of color.
