We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Dr Ornette D. Clennon
Ep 42: Whiteness and schools - Do our schools teach whiteness? What exactly should be taught in "Black History Month"? And does our educational system have a white supremacy problem...? To discuss this and more is a man who bridges the academic and activist world. Dr Ornette D. Clennon is a Professor at the Federal University of Amazon (UFAM) whose research focuses on themes of decolonial community and liberation psychology. His most recent book explores the 'invisible' impact whiteness has on the lived 'black' experience in the UK. He joins me to unpack how whiteness is being taught to our kids.
