What parent would pay for this nonsense? For that matter, why would any taxpayer allow a single dollar to go to this school? (Updated)

Trinity College course will teach students to ‘unsettle’ the ‘white gaze’

“Unsettling the White Gaze” appears on the school’s anthropology course schedule for spring 2027.

“White supremacy and racial capitalism structure our world, setting in motion the systems of domination that Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly describes as a ‘racially hierarchical political economy constituting war and militarism, imperialist accumulation, expropriation by domination, and labor superexploitation,’” the description states. 

During the class, students will be instructed to turn their “anthropological gaze upon whiteness itself” in order to understand “its insidious modes of self-and-other construction,” thus “destabilizing its ocular power to define others.”

“We will pay special attention to how the white colonial gaze has operated in the liberal discipline of anthropology and explore ethnographic methods for studying whiteness and white supremacy,” the description explains.

And of course …

Nadja Eisenberg-Guyot, an assistant professor of anthropology, is teaching “Unsettling the White Gaze.”

Eisenberg-Guyot’s profile describes the scholar as a “white, disabled, trans anthropologist whose work focuses on how criminalized people who use drugs envision and experiment with abolitionist horizons of transformation, healing, self-determination, and solidarity beyond incarceration and forced-cure.”
