Beyond the Pale: White fragility and the perpetuation of whiteness
Episode description
Public Space Travel Podcast
Episode 05 - Beyond the Pale: White fragility and the perpetuation of whiteness
On this twice-recorded episode of PST, we are joined by Charlotte, Professor of English and Education, to discuss the concept of whiteness in the U.S. and how the privilege and ideology that comes with it perpetuates and normalizes itself; Luci questions us white folk and shares his perspective on being brown in this white system; and how with unearned power comes great responsibility.
Public Space Travel is a podcast dedicated to social/political critique, comedy, and education. Coming from an anti-hierarchy/oppression perspective, we aim for progressive/radical left solidarity with brothers/sisters/trans and non-binary folk of all stripes.
