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.”
