Description

The (eternally) fading memories of international schooling in whiteness, privilege, and systemic injustice

History and international teaching

• International teaching has a long history
• Much of it rooted in an Anglo- European model of the world as the preferred vision for the world
• We casually accept these norms because they are the doxa of advantage
• Generally, International schools continue to replicate injustices that most staff are blind to.

The organizational and staffing reality aligned with a skewed representation of diversity actively facilitates casual racism.
It requires continual, attention to ensure that these are addressed at the system level, and not misrecognized at the individual level.
