Seeing White Podcast - "Turning the Lens"
S2, Ep 1
For those women who are African descended religious scholars, your work on the margins requires you to examine issues of race, class and gender. But, if you have been socialized to identify as "White," you may not consciously think of race. In fact, you may not see yourself as "marked" as having a race. Or, when you think of yourself, you may see your position as being "neutral" and not being bogged down by race.
In the "Turning Lens" episode of Seeing White, Myra Greene is a photographer who explores Whiteness through her photography. Please read the show notes below and subscribe. Though the podcast is no longer current, you can still listen to episodes. If you are interested in being an "ally" to those who struggle against the perniciousness of racialized hierarchies, this podcast provides you with an entree into the world of people of color and it allows you to see yourself and how "Whiteness" can be represented to others. For some, being able to digest this in private moments of listening to a podcast will be particularly helpful! See the show note below.
