In The Name Of Merit: Racial Violence In The Academy, Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt
In The Name Of Merit: Racial Violence In The Academy, Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt
Faculty Publications
Racial violence in the academy is enacted upon faculty of color, particularly women, in multiple disciplines. This essay attempts to both expose and suggest that everyday systemic racism has become a pervasive and normalizing feature within disciplines that continue to privilege white and Eurocentric forms of knowledge-making while devaluing others. Furthermore, attempts to challenge such supremacies are immediately countered by calls and charges of incivility. This is an essay about the costs of unmasking norms of civility as it bears upon constructions of both whiteness and meritocracy.
