Serendip is an independent site partnering with faculty at multiple colleges and universities around the world. Happy exploring!
I think that Carters’ idea of “Black cultural capital” is extremely powerful, especially when speaking of class “dominance” and participation. While reading this piece, all I could think of what the Women in Walled Communities 360 as well as the Black American Perspective class (which I ironically called my Black class), and even this class/Ed classes. Because of the nature of the 360’s theme, it focused a lot on the issues of mass incarceration. For most of the class, students of color would tend to dominate/lead the conversations while white students listened more. I could say the same for the Black class, although I would add that the majority of the class was composed of students of color.
