1 Disrupting the Normativity of Whiteness with Teacher Education Students : Challenges and Possibilities Nado Aveling , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: Balayi , no. 6 2004; (p. 82-93)

'In this paper I want to reflect on the ways in which I work with teacher education students to assist them to read the cultural codes through which they/we have constructed their/our own narratives and histories and to identify problematic areas when doing this work. I want to focus in particular on 'storytelling', a teaching strategy that seeks to make visible how whiteness functions as a historical and social construction. I conclude with the contention that becoming aware of our own racial positioning is not quite enough if whiteness studies are to progress the work of 'understanding and dismantling racism'.  (Introduction)
