At Brigham Young University recently, students got quite the investigative assignment.
Allegedly (apply that word to all the following), Assistant Professor of Sociology Jane Lopez told her students to roam campus looking for “whiteness.”
Upon its discovery, they were to take photos.
Per the “Revealing Whiteness Activity” instructions:
In a team of 2 or 3 students, spend 30 minutes exploring some elements of the physical and social environment at BYU. As a Predominantly White Institution (PWI), BYU not only has a disproportionate number of White students in its student body (compared to the US population as a whole), but it also has different aspects of “Whiteness” built into its physical and social environment. Your goal, as a team, is to photograph and describe at least three different manifestations of “Whiteness” that you find around campus. One member of your team will upload your photos to Learning Suite (in the Digital Dialogue) with brief descriptions of how each photo reveals an aspect of Whiteness on campus…
