"VIOLENCE OF WHITENESS" LECTURE~
ALEX NEWMAN & DR. DUKE PESTA DISCUSS
Lisa Anderson-Levy Foments Racial Hatred
QUOTE: "I teach introductory courses to cultural anthropology, ethnographic writing, and other theoretical courses like culture theory. Beginning in 2010, I’ll teach an ethnographic field school in Jamaica. The senior-level seminars are more geared toward my research areas. My dissertation was about the construction and re-production of whitenesses in Jamaica, so my theoretical areas of interest are race, gender, and sexuality, specifically critical race theory, feminist theory, queer theory, citizenship, and nationalism."
As part of a lecture on "whiteness," a fringe "professor" from Beloit College with a PhD in "Feminist Studies" - yes, seriously - was invited to UMN to give a lecture on how "whiteness poses an existential threat to social, political, and economic life in the U.S." The nutty professor, Jamaican Lisa Anderson-Levy, will also argue for "dismantling whiteness."
