Job posted 20 February 2012: Research Assistant Position, University of Colorado Denver

Basic Information Regarding the RA Position:
The position is for an incoming PhD student in education OR an existing doctoral student. The PhD student will be appointed as a Graduate Research Assistant and will receive an offer letter explaining the expectations of the position. Faculty Advisors are responsible for outlining these primary roles and responsibilities. This is a temporary, part-time, non-benefitted student position. The student is expected to work 20 hours a week and will receive $22/hr, for 32 weeks across one academic year.

The doctoral student receives tuition support for up to 18 credit hours across a 12-month period of time. This can be used flexibly as some students start in the summer and then continue through the fall and spring; others don’t start until fall and then continue into spring and finish up their first full-time year the following summer.

Description of Project:
Critical Whiteness Studies births out of Critical Race Theory to address the need for a deeper analysis of race, one that accounts for both sides of the race coin, that of the plight of people of color AND how Whites are also impacted in a system of race. Therefore, this study takes a deeper look into how race operates within White contexts and how such operations ultimately impacts people of color. By doing so, we bridge how Whites AND people of color can collectively work together towards a racially equitable society.

Purpose:
This project focuses on how Whiteness operates in antiracist White teachers who teaches in urban classrooms predominant with Black and Brown students. In identifying and understanding the extent to which Whiteness operates in classrooms we, SEHD, ultimately better equip teacher candidates with anti-racist pedagogical strategies.

The Problem & Significance to the Field
From critical cross-examinations of how it operates in educational research methodologies (Zuberi & Bonilla-Silva, 2008) to how it impacts teacher pedagogy (Allen, 2004; Howard, 1999; Sleeter, 2001), studies of Whiteness continue to challenge racial hegemony in education. However, progress in Whiteness Studies halts when research overindulges in the spectacle of White racial epiphanies (e.g., Frankenberg, 1993; Schick, 2010; Thompson, 2003). Beyond the feel-good of momentary White epiphanies lurk enormous concerns about how to continually examine Whiteness in order to uphold anti-racist education, moreover the fruition of a more racially harmonious society. Therefore, since education is so essential, more studies must be conducted to unveil how Whiteness specifically operates in the classroom and how we can instructively identify it, analyze it, and develop counter-whiteness pedagogical and epistemological practices.

Research Design, Methodology, and Inquiries
To meet this long-term goal this action-based research has 3 phases:

1) takes inventory of the anti-racist dispositions of 3 White antiracist teachers,

2) conduct classroom observations, and

3) implement collaborative professional learning development sessions on 3 “mentor texts” on whiteness and host follow up conversation interviews.

The research questions are divided into phases, 1) What are the baseline racial attitudes (inclusive of awareness/or lack thereof of hegemonic Whiteness) of White antiracist teachers who teach in urban school sites predominant with Black and Brown students? 2) To what extent does the racial attitudes of White antiracist teachers impact their teaching? And 3) How do White antiracist teachers reflect on their racial attitudes of themselves with their deepened knowledge of Whiteness and of their students to inform change in teaching? Because anti-racist and anti-hegemonic whiteness are so essential in the success of White teachers in urban settings (Howard, 1999, Sleeter, 2001) and for the success of students of color (Fordham, 1989, Matias, forthcoming) we therefore cannot ethically leave White anti-racist teachers alone in their battle against colorblind racist curriculum (Loewen, 1999, Pollock, 2001). As such, this project will utilize critical action-based research methodology (Matias, forthcoming, Tanaka, 2007) to assist White anti-racist teacher (allies) in a deeper understanding of race in society (one which accounts for the other side of the race coin, that of whiteness).

Job Description
The research assistant (RA) will be mentored and guided through the process of data collection and data analysis dissemination of this work via professional conferences and the preparation of a manuscript. However, there will be opportunities for the RA to assist in the conceptualization of Phase 2 based off interviews in Phase 1 as well as conceptualizations for Phase 3 based off the observations made in Phase 2. Please contact Dr. Cheryl E. Matias, Ph.D. for specific duties per timeline.

Job Requirements
The PhD student must be able to work 20 hours a week at multiple settings (various Denver public schools and UC Denver campus), have technology skills (Internet research, email, facebook, texting, audio/video recording, etc.), and strong self time-management skills. Although not required, experience working with and understanding of urban students of color and race and ethnic studies are preferred (e.g. teacher, social worker, school psychologist, counselor, etc.).

Deadline
Please contact Dr. Cheryl E. Matias, Ph.D. cheryl.matias@ucdenver.edu by Friday, June 8, 2012. However, interviews will begin based on application submissions throughout spring 2012 and summer 2012 until position is filled. It is highly recommended you apply as soon as possible and DO NOT wait until June to apply. Position begins Fall 2012-Spring 2013.

Kennesaw State University (KSU), the third-largest university in the University System of Georgia, is a Carnegie Research Intensive University. Over 21,400 commuter and residential students, including more than 1,700 from 136 countries, pursue degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels through seven colleges. The university’s dedication to fostering excellence in public service brought it recognition from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities as one of the nation’s top publicly engaged universities. The American Council on Education selected KSU as one of eight institutions in the country for a study called “Global Learning for All.” KSU’s First-Year Experience has been named a “Program to Look For.”

The Bagwell College of Education (BCOE) is one of the largest and strongest teacher preparation units in the University System of Georgia offering bachelor’s, master’s, educational specialist, and doctor of education degree programs. It is also one of Georgia’s largest leadership preparation programs. All educator preparation programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by Georgia’s Professional Standards Commission (PSC). As a member of the Renaissance Group, BCOE continues its advancement toward meeting the challenges of national and state reforms for teacher education as well as program expansion. The college houses an Educational Technology Center that provides professional learning, consulting, and service for Georgia educators in 11 school systems within metro Atlanta and North Georgia.

KSU’s conceptual framework for educator preparation is the Collaborative Development of Expertise in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership. This collaboration, including service and support units, is carried out both through the college’s five academic departments (Educational Leadership, Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Inclusive Education, Instructional Technology, and Secondary and Middle Grades Education) and in conjunction with other members of KSU’s Professional Teacher Education Unit (PTEU).
