White people experience their race as neutral and invisible, limiting the awareness of their own racial identity as distinct, which perpetuates the notion that white cultural practices are normative and universal (Green, Sonn, & Matsebula, 2007). White privilege places the white researcher at the center of inquiry, labeled as the expert in spaces they occupy (Bergerson, 2003). As white researchers working collaboratively with a Black-led, youth empowerment organization, we’ve been examining the invisibility of whiteness within ourselves and the broader field of community psychology that we represent. As we engage and foster alliances with this organization, we have had to develop our own anti-racist practice in order to understand unique challenges and work in empowering ways. We’ve had to consider that we have not often enough been forced to reflect upon our own race and privilege. This is generally not a requirement of the white-dominated systems and institutions in which we operate. The notion that white is neutral has made it possible for us to move through much of the world without thinking about race at all as we enter spaces with people of color who have been thinking about and experiencing race/racism their whole lives. We ground this discussion in critical race theory, whiteness studies, decoloniality, and critical reflexivity. After a short introduction and an agreement on “brave space” norms, we will have participants reflect individually on a set of questions, then move into small groups of 3-4 to share. We’ll end with a large group discussion. In order to foster and sustain solidarity within community contexts and engage in the processes of knowledge production that center community voice, it is important to be critically reflexive about our role, power, and privilege related to our researcher positionalities.
