BRIEF SUMMARY
Racism refers to a variety of practices, beliefs, social relations, and phenomena that work to reproduce a racial hierarchy and social structure that yield superiority, power, and privilege for some, and discrimination and oppression for others. It can take several forms, including representational, ideological, discursive, interactional, institutional, structural, and systemic.
KEY POINTS
- Racism, as defined based on social science research and theory, is about much more than race-based prejudice—it exists when an imbalance in power and social status is generated by how we understand and act upon race.
SHARED WISDOM
- ISCA’s Call to Action
- ASCA’s Antiracism Statement
- Q: My athletic director asked for a recommendation for a book, online course, etc for a student athlete (11th grader) who was videoed saying some awful things, including a bunch of racial slurs. Any suggestions?
- Call Purdue’s black cultural center. They have a library and super suggestions!
- Pulling from the SEL bibliotherapy, found on the IDOE website under Cultural Competency, here are two that I think would be appropriate for the student: This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewel, it gives 20 activities for the reader to examine social identity, race, ethnicity, and racism; March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (first in a collection of three), John Lewis’ life told through a graphic novel. I taught this graphic novel as part of a larger unit when I taught freshman. They loved it, and it sparked a lot of great discussion.
