Description
This article reviews previous strategies designed to teach students about White skin privilege. Based on this review, an out-of-class experiential assignment was developed and then implemented. The findings show that the assignment succeeded in making White privilege visible to White students. Instructors teaching students about cultural diversity in the United States inevitably need to address how racism, oppression, structural inequality, etc. affect individuals and families. Students in these classes typically find it easy to recognize and acknowledge racism and discrimination in society (Goldstein, 2000). Many students have difficulty, however, perceiving that they, because of their socially valued physical, economic, or cultural characteristics, experience a privileged place in U.S. society--that their often unquestioned acceptance of the meritocratic nature of that society is false (Swank, Asada, & Lott, 2001).
