  • Whiteness And Demographic Shifts
    Dec 23 2025
    These profound demographic changes are significantly influencing white identity and societal dynamics. The prospect of becoming a numerical minority challenges the long-held perception of white Americans as the "prototypical ethnic group" or what it means to be "All-American." This shift is seen by some as eroding material advantages historically associated with being white, prompting a deep re-evaluation of white identity itself.

    Dec 23 2025
    he Geography of Privilege."At its heart, the geography of privilege argues that physical space, our location, and our immediate surroundings are not neutral. Instead, they are central to understanding how power and privilege operate in society. It's about recognizing that our experiences are deeply shaped by the places we inhabit, influencing everything from access to quality housing and education to healthcare and leisure. This concept is notably explored in the book Geographies of Privilege, co-edited by Professor France Winddance Twine.
