PREFACE: HOW THIS BOOK
OF STORIES BEGAN
VAL’S STORY
Relying on eight years of public school teaching experience in the Chicago area, I smiled con-
fidently upon entering my first university classroom as a teacher educator, in spite of the fact
that nearly every student in the room sat before me with mouth agape. I turned my back to
xiv • Preface
them to write identifying information on the board while I subtly checked to make sure I was
buttoned and zipped. When I realized that I was appropriately secured, I assumed that the
shocked expressions were a result of my being a Black female in a classroom of all White stu-
dents. At my about face, the students had corrected their expressions and were awaiting my
delineation of the syllabus for a course on diversity. That was the first time I taught a university
course. Similar scenarios exist every semester when I walk through the door and lend them-
selves to teaching about issues of diversity, privilege, and oppression since my first position as
an assistant professor in the School of Education at Colorado State University and in my pres-
ent position as a tenured professor at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley.
My previous teaching experiences include Chicago and southern suburban area K–12
public school where students came from a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, and socioec-
onomic backgrounds. In contrast, my university experience has been teaching predomi-
nantly White, Christian, middle-class urban and rural graduate and undergraduate students
training to be teachers, counselors, social workers, and the like. As a Black American, female
college professor, I am somewhat of an anomaly. Typically, I am the only teacher of color
many of my students have had, the only Black teacher they have had, or the only Black pro-
fessor they have had. As a result, I find I must carefully and purposefully establish a level of
credibility and authority that would typically come with the position, as it does for many of
my White American male counterparts—a privilege they automatically have. An additional
privilege they have is being called by the distinguished title of “Dr.” 90% of the time, in face-
to-face, e-mail, or phone interactions. However, students, upon making contact with me,
generally address me by my first name or, when trying to be polite, call me “Miss,” “Mrs.,”
or “Ms.” Although these titles are not “offensive” to me, what does offend me is that none of
my male counterparts are called “Mr.” but are given the title of “Dr.” or “professor,” whether
or not they have earned it.
These are the kinds of conversations I would have with Sharon, my friend and coedi-
tor. We are both university faculty—one Black and one White, working in predominately
White university settings with predominately White undergraduate and graduate students
enrolled in education or counseling programs. Most of our students come from monora-
cial, White suburban or rural settings in Colorado or other states across the country,
whereas fewer come from areas such as Denver, Chicago, or Los Angeles. In my position
as Educational Foundations Faculty at UNC, which is situated in a town with a significant
number of Latino and Somali families, the student population is still predominately White.
This speaks to a situation that is also impacted by privilege.
Within the context of teaching about multiculturalism, many of our students say they
support issues of diversity and multiculturalism; however, closer inquiry reveals that they
mean “I am not a racist.” They then go on to share scenarios of how they have a Black or
Mexican friend, have dated someone outside of their ethnicity, listen to rap music, attend
Native American powwows, and so on. When the burden of proof regarding the validity of
their claims is placed at the forefront, many students become agitated, defensive, or resist-
ant. However, rather than shy away from these reactions, I believe that they are necessary
and critical steps toward deconstructing and reconstructing a belief system that addresses
privilege and supports multicultural understanding.
Sharon and I have had many conversations about these aforementioned reactions and
their connection to privilege. Sharon offers her own story, “An Awakening to Privilege,
Preface • xv
Oppression, and Discrimination,” which addresses such reactions in the context of her
life. It is our hope that this book contributes to the resources on privilege, diversity, and
oppression by encouraging readers to look within themselves—and rather than claim “I’m
not a racist” or “I don’t discriminate,” purposefully examine and expose their statuses and
actively choose to use the privilege they have to support those who may not be seen or
heard otherwise.
In closing, Sharon and I believe that we selected accessible stories that allow for chal-
lenging one’s thinking around the issues informing the transformative process of our stu-
dents, ourselves, and others. We hope you will join us in laughing, crying, being angry, and
gaining hope as you journey with us through our lives and add your own in uprooting priv-
ilege, fighting oppression, and affirming diversity in your personal and professional lives.
*It is important to note that the capitalization of certain terminology regarding ethnic-
ity, gender, sexual orientation and other “naming” labels have been edited for capitalization
consistency according to APA and publisher guidelines. It is also important to note that
we, as editors and authors of the book, recognize the purposeful choices our contribut-
ing authors made in their work designed to address privilege, oppression and power. Each
author provided their preference or view of how these terms should be treated. We recog-
nize that at the publication of this book, we still have obstacles to overcome in order to tell
these stories in the ways in which we would like them to be told.
