CAS Allyship & Antiracism: College Conversations - September 10, 2020

From White Tears to Social Transformation: Antiracism Beyond Guilt Kirsten Gonzalez, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology Patrick Grzanka, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology The Uprisings of 2020 have brought many issues to the forefront of the national conversation on race. The emotions of White antiracism—guilt, shame, despair, anger—are particularly contentious concepts in racial justice movements insomuch as White people’s feelings may advance or undermine efforts to dismantle White supremacy. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from critical, multicultural psychology and sociology, Professors Patrick Grzanka and Kirsten Gonzalez will discuss their work on White racial emotions and allyship to underscore the importance of emotions in antiracist work. Rather than center White people’s feelings and subjectivities, they suggest that White guilt and associated forms of affect have both limits and possibilities for promoting social transformation. If White people are to contribute productively and non-harmfully to racial justice movements, then careful examination of the causes and consequences of White racial emotions is essential to ensure that White people move beyond tears and guilt and toward the ongoing practice of racial consciousness and social action.
