Since 2009, Paula Ioanide, associate professor of comparative race and ethnicity studies in the Center for the Study of Culture, Race & Ethnicity has collaborated with a group of scholars in challenging colorblind assumptions and frameworks in academic disciplines. Convened by Black feminist scholar, Kimberlé Crenshaw and racial justice scholar, George Lipsitz, the ten-year collaboration has manifested in an unprecedented anthology titled, Seeing Race Again: Countering Colorblindness across the Disciplines, edited by Kimberlé Crenshaw, Luke Harris, Daniel HoSang, and George Lipsitz (University of California Press, 2019). Ioanide’s essay, “Negotiating Privileged Students’ Affective Resistances: Why a Pedagogy of Emotional Engagement is Necessary,” is part of the book’s Resistance and Transformation section. The book is available to order at Amazon.com.
