Inadvertent Complicity: Colorblindness in Teacher Education
Gordon, Jenny
Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, v38 n2 p135-153 2005
In this article I examine my struggles as a White teacher educator creating discourse around race with my preservice students. I use my own struggles to highlight how White members of a teacher education faculty do, and more often do not, address race either with our preservice teachers or among ourselves. In particular, I explore the implications of "colorblindness" for teacher education. I conclude with suggestions for ways in which Colleges of Education can support White faculty members as they move beyond colorblindness toward racial consciousness.
