It describes this “systemic Whiteness” as an all-encompassing force that impacts all individuals regardless of their intent. The objectives claim that “anti-Blackness permeates US society” and that it has a substantial impact on the lives and outcomes of Black Americans.The OSU college of education claims that the seminar was created in direct response to the Black Lives Matter Movement and their increased prominence in the eyes of the public.According to the College of Education, the seminar builds on the 2020 tenets of a faculty pledge made to Black students.The seminar was co-facilitated by Assistant Professor Dr. Tenisha Tevis of the School of Education and Dr. Dwaine Plaza of the School of Public Policy.Both professors have been involved in the campus social justice movement for several years. In 2017, Plaza hosted an event called, “Wake Up Coffee” in which he moderated “conscious-raising discussions” with students and faculty on race and gender. In 2019 he hosted a discussion called “Institutional Racism, Bias, and Discrimination in STEM Disciplines.”Tenisha Tevis’s faculty page states that her research focuses on, “underserved students transition to college,” along with the, “sociology of education, school composition, college entrance exams, degree expectations, and first generation students.” She’s also a part of the University of Michigan’s Diversity Scholars Network, which claims that her current work includes,“e xploring the role Whiteness plays in higher education administration,” and that she, “co-conceptualized a anti-racist leadership framework for higher education.”
