I’m an admirer of both Queer Theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_theory Critical Race Theory http://spacrs.wordpress.com/what-is-critical-race-theory/ and as someone who has definite leanings toward social justice issues, public health, and sexual minority causes…I feel as though I see the world through a slightly different set of eyes. Rainbow colored glasses anyone? I observe, I critique, I document, and I (try) to contribute where I can. Today, I was faced with a myriad of student issues related to work and my responsibilities. I had an epiphany of sorts, where I could clearly see where race and SES intersected to produce disadvantages for students of color on an institutional / structural level. As a white male, I am knowledgeable enough to know that I am taught by my own white privilege NOT to see or recognize these things. But I did see it today and I’ve been wondering what my response and responsibilities are. I’m not trying to be colorblind no...
