Burning Our Fingers: An Intersectional Grapple with the Steel Cage of Racism

Christopher E. Castillo ; Christa J. Olson

Abstract

This article argues that a focus on racialized emotional economies is crucial to cultivating antiracist programs and an antiracist field. This study is framed around a racist fuck-up. We provide a framework and recommendations for ways that administrators, scholars, and educators can attend to emotions more directly within academic spaces.
