Teaching Race/Teaching Whiteness

Cross-posted from The Blog and the Bullet.

Ann, from Feminist Law Professors, gives us a link to an article on whiteness and teaching in schools:
This Article argues that whiteness operates as the normative foundation of most discussions of race. Legal educators often overlook the role of whiteness in the law school setting and in law more generally. Identifying and understanding whiteness should be an essential component of legal education. This Article considers reasons why legal education rarely addresses this normative role played by whiteness.
