Tim Wise, on Affirmative Action
Boler, Affirmative Action Pedagogy
I conceptualized and argued for an “affirmative
action pedagogy” to illustrate how social hierarchies confer unequal weight and
legitimacy to different voices, making dialogue a difficult ideal to achieve in
our classrooms. Just as affirmative action seeks to redress historically
embedded inequities, so do I suggest that there are times when countering
dominant cultural beliefs (especially within the abbreviated time space of a
classroom) may require privileging traditionally silenced voices (vii).
