Trinity College Offering Course to Teach Students to ‘Unsettle’ the ‘White Gaze’
“White supremacy and racial capitalism structure our world, setting in motion the systems of domination”
This is just more left-wing political activism dressed up as education.

Trinity College course will teach students to ‘unsettle’ the ‘white gaze’
Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, will offer students the opportunity to study the “white gaze” next spring in order to undermine “white supremacy and racial capitalism.”
“Unsettling the White Gaze” appears on the school’s anthropology course schedule for spring 2027.
“White supremacy and racial capitalism structure our world, setting in motion the systems of domination that Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly describes as a ‘racially hierarchical political economy constituting war and militarism, imperialist accumulation, expropriation by domination, and labor superexploitation,’” the description states.
This course is part of a historical trend of universities continuing to push identity politics and critical race theory as cornerstones of their curricula.
During the class, students will be instructed to turn their “anthropological gaze upon whiteness itself” in order to understand “its insidious modes of self-and-other construction,” thus “destabilizing its ocular power to define others.”
“We will pay special attention to how the white colonial gaze has operated in the liberal discipline of anthropology and explore ethnographic methods for studying whiteness and white supremacy,” the description explains.
Nadja Eisenberg-Guyot, an assistant professor of anthropology, is teaching “Unsettling the White Gaze.”
Eisenberg-Guyot’s profile describes the scholar as a “white, disabled, trans anthropologist whose work focuses on how criminalized people who use drugs envision and experiment with abolitionist horizons of transformation, healing, self-determination, and solidarity beyond incarceration and forced-cure.”
The assistant professor also “participates in abolitionist, harm reduction, and transformative justice organizing projects in NYC and beyond.”

I’m not gazing at you, you don’t interest me at all.
Unsettle me sufficiently, and my gaze will gravitate to my front sight.
I’m thinking that this guy resents being ignored so he feels a need to create an imaginary world in which white people actually pay attention to him. We don’t.
It’s They/Them to you, Buster. Get it right 👍
Pay only $3000 dollars for a class to learn about how intellectual staring contests are rooted in rayycism.
Yeah, shit classes like this will get you a good living wage at Burger World.
The whole point of Burger World is NOT to give you a “living” wage. It’s a minimally compensated internship for the real world. You are supposed to learn what you need to learn to function in the real world, and then grow out of it to something that actually offers a living wage.
His profile would fit every other homeless person on Hawthorne Street in Portland. They seem to be escaping whiteness by not showering.
Anybody know what ‘disability’ this person is claiming?
From google AI:
Nadja Eisenberg-Guyot describes themselves broadly as a disabled scholar, but official academic bios do not explicitly specify a single medical diagnosis. However, in their doctoral research and autoethnographic writings, they have explicitly referenced their own background with private residential psychiatric treatment.
It shouldn’t be surprising to learn how much of the “rainbow crowd” got there by “being on the spectrum.”
I grew up in Hartford and lived less than 2-miles from Trinity College. Right down the street [walkable] is the famous Institute of Living psychiatric facility. Perhaps this nutcase should check it out.
Imagine if this much focus and energy was spent on something productive instead of something destructive.
