While Critical Whiteness Studies shares similarities with Critical Race Theory, it specifically \u200bfocuses on whiteness as an ideology of supremacy rather \u2063than just a skin color.<\/p>\n<p>Butcher explains that these theories reject the idea \u2062of equality under the law and individual \u200cresponsibility, instead emphasizing power struggles \u2063between different identity groups. The goal is to challenge existing systems and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marc-lamont-hill-says-that-black-lives-matter-explicitly-looking-to-dismantle-israel-and-embrace-bds-movement\/\" title=\"Marc Lamont Hill Says That Black Lives Matter \u2018Explicitly\u2019 Looking To \u2018Dismantle\u2019 Israel and \u2018Embrace\u2019 BDS Movement\">dismantle white supremacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200c is important to note that\u2063 these courses are part of a larger effort\u2062 to embed\u2063 Critical\u200b Race Theory in both K-12 education and higher education. They aim to provide \u200dstudents with \u2063a comprehensive understanding of race, power\u2063 dynamics, and social justice.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, colleges are exploring the intersection of race and other disciplines. For example, Hobart and Williams College offer a class called\u200d &#8220;Perspectives\u200c on Ballet,&#8221; which examines the Eurocentric perspective of ballet and its historical centering of whiteness.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200buniversities like Arizona State University, the University of \u2063Louisville, and The Ohio State University are \u200dincorporating Critical Race Theory into various fields of study, including music \u200ceducation, social work, and education.<\/p>\n<p>As the conversation around race and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/english-teachers-announce-book-reading-is-overrated-claim-its-time-to-decenter-reading-and-essays\/\" title=\"English Teachers Announce Book Reading Is Overrated, Claim It\u2019s Time To \u2018Decenter\u2019 Reading And Essays\">social justice continues<\/a> to \u2062evolve, these courses provide \u200cstudents with the tools to \u2062critically analyze and challenge existing systems of \u2063oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n-\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/english.unm.edu\/grad\/current-students\/courses\/upcoming-fall.html\">University of New Mexico<\/a><\/p>\n<p>-\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ucdenver.edu\/cu-denver\/undergraduate\/courses-a-z\/edfn\/edfn.pdf\">University of Colorado, Denver<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uoregon.edu\/courses\/crs-es\/\">University of\u200b Oregon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.usfca.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=38&#038;poid=36311\">University of San Francisco<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/academics\/english\/courses#:~:text=Critical%20Whiteness%20Studies,society%20it%20influences%20and%20reflects.\">University of Puget Sound<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210116185706\/https:\/\/african.wisc.edu\/courses\/african-405-the-problem-of-whiteness\/\">University of Wisconsin Madison<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/splintered\">Heritage Foundation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hws.edu\/catalogue\/danc.aspx\">Hobart and\u200c Williams College<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/news.asu.edu\/20210721-critical-race-theory-scholar-joins-asu-school-music-dance-and-theatre\">Arizona State University<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.louisville.edu\/undergraduate\/courses\/bsw\/\">University of Louisville<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ehe.osu.edu\/academics\/curriculum\/anti-racism-certificate\">The Ohio State University<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/article?id=23374\">University of Maryland<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several colleges will offer courses on &#8220;Critical Whiteness Studies,&#8221; a branch of Critical Race Theory, in the 2023-2024 academic year.
