The Institutional Cost of Being a Professor of Color: Unveiling Micro-Aggression, Racial (In)visibility, and Racial Profiling through the Lens of Critical Race Theory
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Drawing on critical race theory, auto-ethnography, and resistant narratives, this article examines systemic forms of oppression that professors of color teaching at predominantly white institutions have been facing. The author incorporates in his analysis his experience as a faculty of color battling multiple forms of micro-aggression (Solorzano, 1998). He situates his professional and lived experiences with institutional racism in a larger educational and political context and goes on to analyze the ways and the degree to which this form of racism has affected other professors of color.
