Northwestern University to Offer Course on “Unsettling Whiteness”

Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, known for its progressive stance, has sparked controversy with its upcoming course titled “Unsettling Whiteness.” The course, listed under the Department of Black Studies, aims to delve into the historical, political, and cultural aspects of whiteness in Western modernity.

While the course description suggests a critical analysis of whiteness, some critics argue that it perpetuates an anti-White agenda by associating whiteness with White supremacy. This divisive approach has become a common theme in American academia, where discussions on White culture often lead to allegations of systemic racism.

Meet the Professor: Barnor Hesse

Leading the course is Barnor Hesse, an Associate Professor of Black Studies, Political Science, and Sociology, and the Director of Undergraduate Studies at Northwestern. Hesse’s academic background in decolonial studies and critical race theory informs his research interests, which include Black Political Thought, Black Critical Theory, and Decolonial Studies.

In his work, Hesse has explored the concept of ‘8 identities of White people,’ shedding light on the various ways in which individuals engage with whiteness:

  1. White Supremacist: Embraces and upholds white superiority
  2. White Voyeurism: Fascination with non-whiteness without challenging white supremacy
  3. White Privilege: Maintains benefits of whiteness while advocating for diversity
  4. White Benefit: Sympathetic to issues but does not act publicly against whiteness
  5. White Confessional: Acknowledges whiteness but seeks validation from People of Color
  6. White Critical: Critiques and exposes the white regime
  7. White Traitor: Actively opposes whiteness and seeks to dismantle it
  8. White Abolitionist: Works towards dismantling institutions of whiteness

Hesse’s framework aims to provoke introspection and dialogue on the role of whiteness in society, challenging individuals to confront their complicity in maintaining racial hierarchies.

Criticism and Controversy

Despite Hesse’s academic contributions, his approach to studying whiteness has faced criticism for perpetuating division and promoting a one-sided narrative on race. Some argue that courses like “Unsettling Whiteness” only serve to alienate students and breed resentment rather than fostering understanding and unity.

With the growing politicization of academia, universities like Northwestern have come under scrutiny for prioritizing ideological agendas over objective education. The debate on whiteness and race relations continues to be a contentious issue, highlighting the need for nuanced and inclusive discussions that bridge divides rather than deepen them.
