Featured Panel Speakers
David Allen, Jonathon Warren & Rebecca Aanerud
March 3, 2006
University of Washington
A panel discussion hosted by the Center for Multicultural Education in the College of Education, Department of Women Studies, & the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Washington.
David Allen is Chair of the Department of Women Studies at the University of Washington. He is also a professor of Psychosocial & Community Health. The focus of Professor Allen’s work has been the intersection of nursing and social justice. In nursing and in women studies, he teaches methodological issues that arise when power and contested values (especially around systematic disadvantaging by race, class and gender) are central to one’s inquiry. Similarly, his theoretical explorations are related to how power, justice, privilege and disadvantage are embedded in theoretical discourses and what sorts of vocabularies might help us reshape these discourses (e.g. about curriculum or mental illness) in a less damaging direction.
Jonathon Warren is the Chair and Associate Professor of Latin American Studies in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. He has published several articles on race and ethnicity in the Americas, co-produced the award winning documentary film, Just Black?, curated the controversial art exhibit Viet Nam Now and authored a book on indigenous politics in Brazil titled Racial Revolutions (2001). Currently, he is working on a comparative study of Vietnam and Brazil, examining the socio-cultural underpinnings of economic development.
Rebecca Aanerud is currently the Associate Director of the Center for Innovation and Research in Graduate Education (CIRGE) at the University of Washington. CIRGE undertakes studies on various aspects of graduate education, with a particular emphasis on the career and family paths of PhD recipients. She is also a lecturer in Women Studies where she teaches classes a range of classes including ones on feminist theory and race theory. She has a number of publications in field of critical race theory and whiteness studies.
