Rebecca Journey, a teaching fellow who earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from UChicago, said her class analyzes whiteness as a social construct and dismissed “disingenuous” claims that it stokes “anti-white hatred...The class is emphatically not about ‘the problem with white people.' The class approaches whiteness as a problem in the philosophical sense of an open question … whiteness as an object of critical inquiry.”
