![]() You should study white men because that’s who you are. And my dissertation was about white men and my qualitative methodologists said, you shouldn’t study people of color. But the, the way that racism and sexism and homophobia here felt was different than at home. That’s not to say that Europe isn’t also incredibly racist and especially heavily xenophobic. The way that sort of, I got into thinking about research on white men is primarily because when I came here in the mid nineties, some of the things that I noticed around race and racism were different than they are in Europe. Most of them, at least the ones that I teach most often are sort of related to writing a dissertation prep capstone prep for the master’s students. I teach sort of all of the courses that we offer. In, in my faculty position, we have a master’s program in a doctorate program and I teach because we have quite a bit curriculum and quite a small faculty. So it’s tough, especially in these times to be far away from, from family and other friends. So that’s a little bit more about sort of the side story of me but really still continue to follow and connect heavily with German language, music, culture, relatives. The background is my favorite German football team Cologne the season starts today. I’m originally from Germany, but I’ve lived here now in the US for 25 years. Jörg Vianden – he, him, his pronouns professor of student affairs administration in higher education at UW LaCrosse in Western Wisconsin. Jörg, tell us about a little bit about you We’re excited to hear more about where that scholarship has taken. And that’s what really started to propel me in this direction. So I started wanting to dive into that and figure out how can ostensibly good people who I care about and love a great deal, do some really horrific things racially without even really realizing it. And I think all of my work, especially around whiteness has been trying to grapple with this issue where I’d have people in my life, who I knew, who cared about me, who were very close confidant, supporters, mentors, friends, family, et cetera, who would say some things that were just really off racially, but 12, 13, 14 years old, you can’t quite put a finger on it. Although I do have a lot of experience living in there as well with that, you know, Portland nice, but also racist at the same time. This was rural Oregon, not what people think about Portland, Portland. How I got into this issue is sort of a professional and a personal, really the personal drives that, and that was growing up in McMinnville, Oregon. And in my day job, I teach about issues of race, racism, campus, racial dynamics critical race theory and also introduction to issues in higher education. Nolan Cabrera – associate professor at the University of Arizona. It’s going to be a wonderful conversation. Thank you so much for her, for having me and putting this together.

And then also, if you could tell us a little bit about how you got interested or how you got started in really critically exploring white men on campus and Nolan. Today I have these three fabulous folks here who have done a lot of thinking and research and scholarship around white men on college campuses and what is going on with them and how are they impacting others and how can we reach them from critical perspectives? So I’d love to have you just all introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about who you are and what your day job is. I’m hosting this conversation today from Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is the ancestral home of the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples. ![]() As I mentioned, I’m your host, Keith Edwards.
