Lensmire featured on TCR’s The Voice

This week, Timothy Lensmire, associate professor in Curriculum and Instruction discusses his paper, “White Men’s Racial Others,” on The Voice, a video series produced for the Teachers College Record. As an accompaniment to the video, Lensmire is also participating in an online discussion where he will write and respond to comments to the video. The Teachers College Record is a journal of research, analysis, and commentary in the field of education. It has been published continuously since 1900 by Teachers College, Columbia University.

Lensmire’s article examines race and whiteness in a rural community in Wisconsin. He explores how white people use people of color (both real and imagined) to produce their own white racial identities. His work responds to past conceptions of white racial identity that oversimplify whiteness and possibly undermine our critical pedagogies.

We encourage you to participate in the discussion. To watch his video and leave comments, please visit the Teachers College Record website. For more information about Tim Lensmire’s research, please visit his profile page.
