    Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rahsaan Mahadeo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisers: David Pellow and Joyce Bell August 2019 © 2019 Rahsaan Mahadeo Acknowledgements Pursuing a PhD has at times felt like the most selfish endeavor I have ever undertaken. For I knew that every book I read and every paper I wrote was largely for personal gain. Not coming from academic lineage or economic privilege, I could not escape the profound sense of guilt of leaving so many behind in the everyday struggle to live, labor and learn in a school that is less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; a sea of scholarship that looks more like colonizer ships; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory. Most know it as the “U of M,” when it is really the U of empire. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to counter the university’s individualistic and neoliberal logic to thank several people who have helped me cope with the challenges of living, learning and laboring in a space designed without me (and many others) in mind. Thank you to my advisers David Pellow and Joyce Bell for supporting me along my graduate school journey. Though illegible to the university, I recognize and appreciate the inordinate amount of labor you perform inside and outside the classroom.

  • Ethnography of Human Development, Cognition and Learning
    EDPSY 582A —Methods Seminar: Ethnography of Human Development, Cognition and Learning Fall 2014 Wednesdays 1:30 to 3:50 Miller 112 INSTRUCTORS Philip Bell Megan Bang LIFE Center LIFE Center [email protected] [email protected] Office Hours: By appt Office Hours: By appt COURSE OVERVIEW “The situated nature of learning, remembering, and understanding is a central fact. It may appear obvious that human minds develop in social situations, and that they use the tools and representational media that culture provides to support, extend, and reorganize mental functioning. But cognitive theories of knowledge representation and educational practice, in school and in the workplace, have not been sufficiently responsive to questions about these relationships.” — Roy Pea & John Seely Brown, 1991 “If ethnography produces cultural interpretations through intense field research experience, how is such unruly experience transformed into an authoritative written account? How, precisely, is a garrulous, overdetermined, cross-cultural encounter, shot through with power relations and personal cross purposes circumscribed as an adequate version of a more-or-less discrete ‘otherworld,’ composed by an individual author?” — James Clifford Learning and development are complex phenomena. The cultural and cognitive processes bound up in learning can be crucially contingent on the history of local community practices, the social and material conditions of specific situations, and they can span across social settings, activity systems, and cultural groupings and deeply relate to the local history. Learning processes and outcomes can play out across short to long time scales from milliseconds to decades. These complexities pose particular conceptual, methodological, and representational challenges. Studies of human development and learning have taken an ethnographic turn over the last twenty years.

  • Mapping White College Students' Racial Ideology in The
    ARTICLE 50 “I am not a racist but . .”: mapping White college students’ racial ideology in the USA Discourse & Society Copyright © 2000 SAGE Publications (London, EDUARDO BONILLA-SILVA Thousand Oaks, CA TEXAS A& M UNIVERSITY and New Delhi) Vol 11(1): 50–85 [0957-9265 TYRONE A. FORMAN (200001) 11:1; UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 50–85; 008598] ABSTRACT. Survey-based research on Whites’ racial attitudes in the USA has characterized their views as either ‘tolerant’ or ‘ambivalent’. We argue that surveys on racial attitudes have systematically underestimated the extent of prejudice in the White population. The legal and normative changes created by the civil rights movement of the 1960s brought a new racial ideology (‘color blind racism’), with new topics and a new form. These matters were examined by collecting survey and interview data from college students in three universities. The main findings were that White respondents appear to be more prejudiced in the interviews than in the survey, use a new racetalk to avoid appearing ‘racist’, and that the themes and arguments that they mobilize are congruent with what other analysts have labeled as ‘laissez faire’ or ‘competitive’ racism. KEY WORDS: color blind, racial ideology, racism, semantic moves Introduction Since the civil rights period it has become common for Whites to use phrases such as “I am not a racist, but . .” as shields to avoid being labeled as “racist” when express- ing racial ideas’ (VanDijk, 1984:120).These discursive maneuvers or semantic moves are usually followed by negative statements on the general character of minorities (e.g. “they are lazy”, “they have too many babies”) or on government-sponsored poli- cies and programs that promote racial equality (e.g.

This course examines these and other questions with a survey of two central research areas in the social sciences: social inequality and social activism. In the first part of the course we take up sociological research on the extent of economic and social inequalities in the United States, how they are generated, and the consequences they bear. Part two considers a variety of activism arising in response to stark inequalities, the strategies activist groups adopt and the extent to which they affect change.

(August 2011) Hilario Molina II, B.S., The University of Texas at Pan-American; M.S., The University of Texas at Pan-American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Rogelio Saenz From the exterior, the United States has extracted natural resources and transformed the social dynamics of those living on the periphery, contributing to the emigration from Mexico and immigration to the United States. This, in turn, creates the racialization of the Mexican immigrant, specifically the undocumented immigrant—the “illegal alien.” I argue that this unilateral interaction operates with a racial formation of the Mexican immigrant created by elite white (non-Hispanic) males. The anti-Mexican immigrant subframe and “prowhite” subframe derive from the white racial frame, which racializes the undocumented immigrant in the United States.
