Welcome to the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Pacific Sociological Association! After two years of virtual meetings, we are pleased to bring you back to our first in-person and virtual meeting. I hope that you find a place to reconnect with old acquaintances, develop new connections, and help support the faculty, students, and professional sociologists who are members of PSA. You will find an exciting program with sessions that pique your interests, provide new avenues for research, and engage your scholarship and activism as sociologists.
Enjoy your time in Sacramento. Marvel at the historic building we are meeting in, designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan, take a walk to the Sacramento River and to the State Capital. Our meeting helps to support the local economy and those who work in the restaurant, hospitality, and retail industries. We also recognize that where we meet also represents a history of those who came before us and of the struggles and contested battles for land and territory in the state capital of California.
Finally, I want to acknowledge the hard work of all of you as participants in bringing this meeting together, as well as the leadership from our PSA Council and the Committee Chairs for making this a successful event. Thank you to the Program Chair, Patricia Drew, and all of the members of the Program Committee for working on organizing sessions and reaching out to colleagues and encouraging their participation. Special thanks to Executive Director Lora Bristow for managing the helm of PSA for the past two years under unprecedented circumstances. Welcome to Amy Orr, our first Executive Officer to work aside Lora Bristow in coordinating the efforts of PSA.
Wendy Ng
PSA President 2021-22
We are the guests of the original people of this land: The Nisenan people, the Southern Maidu, Valley and Plains Miwok, Patwin Wintun peoples, and the People of the Wilton Rancheria, Sacramento’s only Federally recognized Tribe.
We invite you to reflect on the history of the lands and waterways we are all privileged to gather on. We also invite you to reflect on the legacies of colonization embedded within our society. We invite everyone to take some time to consider our roles in reconciliation, decolonization and allyship.
May we acknowledge and honor the Native People who came before us and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather at this site and in the active practice of acknowledgment and appreciation for Sacramento’s Indigenous People’s history, contributions, and lives.
The theme of this year’s Pacific Sociological Association annual meeting, “Telling Our Stories: Collective Memory and Narratives of Race, Gender, and Community Identity,” is well-suited to our current circumstances. Covid, international strife, the rise of a barrier-breaking Supreme Court justice we are living through unforgettable times. The global pandemic radically impacted our lives and has required us – as individuals, community members, and sociologists – to flexibly adapt to ever-changing conditions. Similarly, the Pacific Sociological Association has been required to repeatedly pivot since early 2020, and its success in doing so has been dependent upon the efforts of many. President Wendy Ng provided a guiding vision for this year’s conference; her leadership has brought us back together quite literally. Vice-President Sharon Elise brought enthusiasm and generosity to her role. Executive Director Lora Bristow skillfully balanced the many components required to organize our conference; this year she did so with the backdrop of shifting public health conditions. The 2022 Program Committee’s hard work and willingness to serve enabled this conference to occur, and Robert Kettlitz has, once again, organized our many undergraduate roundtables. I am grateful for the work of these PSA leaders. Finally, I truly appreciate all of those who are participating in this year’s annual meeting as presenters, panelists, presiders, discussants, and audience members; I offer my many and sincere thanks to you all.

This panel seeks to challenge dominant narratives of border domination by elevating the voices of marginalized migrant communities in the U.S. Panelists will address various dimensions of this theme including the role of the political and the ecological instability in the South created and profited off by the north in creating a flux of refugees and migrants, the impact of gendered lending practices in Mexico and Central America in border enforcement as well migrant women experiences in the U.S, the marginalization of social reproduction experienced by migrant women especially in the aftermath of Covid19 outbreak, the intersectional experiences of Mulsim women immigrant integrating in the U.S society, and finally the experiences of Mexican immigrants during Trump’s presidency. Case studies emerge from diverse origins centering the voices of immigrants and migrants coming from Muslim majority countries, climate refugees from Honduras, Somalia, and the island of Nauru, and Mexican and Central American immigrants. By centering the voices and the experiences of these marginalized immigrant and migrant communities we aim to present a counter-narrative to the hegemonic mainstream discourse by focusing on the various ways these marginalized migrant communities regain agency through resistance and resilience.

SOCIOLOGICAL STAR SPEAKERS SERIES: CHALLENGING MYTHS OF THE PROMISED LIFE: MEMORIES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
STRUGGLES---MARY ROMERO (SPONSORED BY THE EMERITUS AND RETIRED SOCIOLOGISTS COMMITTEE)
Organizers: Christine Bose, SUNY Albany & University of Washington; Laurel Hartley, Butte-Glenn Community College
Presider: Christine Bose, SUNY Albany & University of Washington
Over the decade, dominant themes in sociology depicting the social mobility and integration of women and men of color in the U.S. have perpetuated the myths of meritocracy, opportunity, and the American Dream. Conceptualizing various versions of assimilation, sociologists have devoted countless studies measuring and observing behaviors deemed as absorbing the ideas, beliefs, and traditions of whiteness and
ways of living under capitalism. Conforming through assimilation is the path to the promised life in notions of the American Dream. In the process, memories are reconstructed to celebrate rugged individualism and claiming to have pulled oneself up by their boot’s straps. This reconstruction is an essential step in erasing memories of social justice struggles. This keynote address examines the reconstruction of the promised life and highlights the ways that marginalized groups are reclaiming their memories of social justice struggles and how sociologists can contribute to recovering our collective consciousness that can be instrumental in disrupting power and systematic inequality

Thursday · 6:45 pm-8:30 pm
Thursday · 8:00 pm-9:30 pm
Organizer: Dennis Downey, California State University Channel Islands
Presider: Shirley A. Jackson, Portland State University Polarization is a critical concern of our times, and a significant threat to many of the goals that sociology has traditionally sought. While popular analyses of American socio-political polarization have presented dire warnings (for example, of the “lure of authoritarianism” and the “death of democracy”) academic analyses have been more circumspect (highlighting complexities and debating whether polarization is an appropriate framework). The address begins by reviewing analyses of our contemporary divisions and argues that understanding its dynamics is critical for an effective sociology – and that a renewed focus on persuasion, with particular attention to distinct moral frameworks, is critical for a discipline that can contribute toward bending the arc of the moral universe toward justice. The presentation advocates for an emphasis on three strategic areas of our discipline: Social Movement research to reassess the role of suasion in social change; Rural Sociology to cultivate and harvest a deeper understanding of the grievances and hopes across the divide; and the interdisciplinary terrain of Cognitive/Political/Moral Psychology to integrate essential insights beyond the discipline about how to engage more effectively across the divide. Responses to the presentation will be made by experts from each of those fields – followed by a broader conversation about contemporary polarization and the possible roles of sociology in this context. Discussants: Dennis Downey, California State University Channel Islands; Nella Van Dyke, University of California Merced; Jennifer Sherman, Washington State University; Rengin Firat, Korn Ferry Institute; Shirley A.

Presider: Yvonne Kwan, San Jose State University
In August 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed CA Assembly Bill 1460 into law. AB 1460 (2020) legislates an Ethnic Studies course graduation requirement in the California State University system. While CSU state-level administrators and SJSU administrators and the Academic Senate actively opposed AB 1460 before its passage, they were later charged to implement AB 1460. Despite having precarious positions at their university, co-panelists will discuss how they navigate and understand multiple layers of neoliberal university governance in the implementation of AB 1460. To combat neoliberalism within the academy, co-panelists center the voices and expertise of Ethnic Studies faculty. As a way to (re)commit and (re)invigorate the struggle for Ethnic Studies, despite its establishment over 50 years ago, this presentation will highlight academic activism and praxis on the grounds in the battlefield of academia. While Ethnic Studies can be a liberatory space for
students, community organizers, and its other practitioners, it has also been a space of contestation. Using storytelling and testimonios, Cox, de Bourbon and Kwan will share their autoethnography about building solidarity and coalitional networks across Ethnic Studies disciplines. In particular, they will address three main themes: (1) Challenges and promises in building solidarity despite differences in power and identity, (2) Strategies for interest convergence in working with but not for the dominant system, and (3) Directions for growth and possibility. Ethnic Studies poses a fundamental challenge to the dominant epistemological and methodological paradigms of traditional academic disciplines.

SALON: CRITICAL MASS: UNDERSTANDING AND FIXING MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE UNITED STATES, BY DINUR BLUM AND CHRISTIAN GONZALEZ JAWORSKI
Organizer & Presider: Patricia Jennings, California State University East Bay
Dinur Blum: Department of Sociology, CSU Los Angeles Julie Beck: Associate Professor, Sociology, CSU East Bay This book examines social patterns in 2,000 mass shootings in the United States between 2013 through 2020. While mass shootings are often described as psychological, the authors show that there are social factors that produce the anger needed to commit a mass shooting. These factors are fairly common and can be addressed to stem the anger earlier. The factors include chronic poverty, sudden unemployment, relationship problems, domestic violence, social isolation, and alcohol. Common social strains can metastasize and be lethally dangerous. By understanding the social factors, we can reduce the anger and frustration people feel that would drive them to killing others.

PRESIDENTIAL SESSION: MOVING TO THE DARK SIDE: WHY COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES NEED MORE SOCIOLOGISTS AS LEADERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
Organizer & Presider: Wendy Ng, California State University East Bay An academic career as a sociologist can often go beyond teaching and research: It can involve a career of administrative leadership in a university or college. Sociologists are well-equipped with organizational and analytical tools of the discipline to become a part of higher education administration. Sociologists have an understanding and training that can facilitate greater dialogue, empathy, understanding of practices of diversity and inclusion that are essential in institutions today. This panel profiles sociologists currently working in higher education administration, as provosts, deans and associate deans, and vice presidents and how they made the move to “the dark side.”

EMBODYING OUR STORIES: INTEGRATING EMERGENT INCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE INTO THE SOCIOLOGY CLASSROOM
Creative expression is a birthright. Performance and movement in the classroom addresses kinesthetic learning styles and deepens the connection between the physical-social self and can be integrated into teaching pedagogy in sociology classes. Every living body can dance, make music, tell stories and share healing truths. In this workshop CSU East Bay Professor of Inclusive Performance Eric Kupers, along with members of the CSUEB Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble and Dandelion Dancetheater will share radically inclusive approaches to community performance, inviting in each participant's unique journey through culture, ethnicity, disability/ability, gender, Spirit, and body identities. If you have ever been afraid to participate in dance, music, theater, or other creative expressions, and/or have ever wondered how the arts can advance healing and social justice work, then this workshop is for you. No previous experience necessary. Bring your full self to this inclusive arts inquiry!
2022 PSA awards will be presented, followed by President Wendy Ng's Address on the conference theme: “Telling Our Stories: Collective Memory and Narratives of Race, Gender, and Community Identity.” Her talk will focus on the questions that form the basis of our own sociological inquiries, personal and political, and how that extends to the larger spectrum of how sociologists must use historical memory as a point of departure for justice, action, and reparations. Wendy Ng is currently Dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences at CSUEast Bay.
Come celebrate President Wendy Ng! During the reception the CSU East Bay Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble, Dandelion Dancetheater, and PSA conference participants will share an inclusive community performance: I am Here. I am Alive. The performance will weave together stories of identity, memory, ancestral gifts and burdens, and moments that have helped each participant understand their deeper senses of self. We will offer a collage of inclusive dance, theater, music, and community ritual that is intended as an example of what is possible in the intersections of Sociology and the Arts.

Organizer & Presider: Manuel Barajas, California State University Sacramento
The San Joaquin Valley feeds the nation producing 2/3 of fruits and 1/3 of the vegetables for the nation, but remains among the poorest regions in the country. Many racialized ethnicities have historically been incorporated as exploitable labor into this region but some remain at the margins to this day. Grounded in lived experience and/or long-time organizing with farm working communities, the panelists provide insights and understandings that illuminate the expressions of modern slavery in California Agriculture. An objective of this panel is to advance understanding, equity, and dignity to the essential workers in the fields of the most affluent state in the nation and 5th largest economy in the SESSION 105.

Saturday · 10:15 am-11:45 am
Organizer & Presider: Sheila Lakshmi Steinberg, University of Massachusetts Global Storytelling has always been a tool of resistance. A story may contain multiple threads and narratives highlighting sometimes conflicting values to different groups. This panel addresses the power of collective memory in shaping community narratives. Here we highlight the role of place as tied to community narrative, local storytelling and resistance. We ask, why are some narratives embraced over others? Whose stories are valued for a particular group or place? How are those stories told? A group’s identity, value and culture appear in the stories that are shared. This ultimately becomes part of that group’s overarching narrative and ideology. We explore specific case studies of the roles of collective memory and remembering in the construction of community narratives. We discuss how certain narratives become dominant and highlight patterns of inequality and power imbalances.

Organizer & Presider: Patricia Jennings, California State University East Bay Ryanne Pilgeram: Associate Professor, Department of Culture, Society, and Justice, University of Idaho Jennifer Sherman: Professor of Sociology, Washington State University, and Vice President, Rural Sociological Society Dennis Downey: Professor, Sociology, and Interim Associate Vice President for Academic Programs and Continuous Improvement, CSU Channel Islands PushedOut:ContestedDevelopmentand RuralGentrificationintheUSWest What happens to rural communities when their traditional economic base collapses? When new money comes in, who gets left behind? Pushed Out offers a rich portrait of Dover, Idaho, whose transformation from “thriving timber mill town” to “economically depressed small town” to “trendy second-home location” over the past four decades embodies the story and challenges of many other rural communities. Sociologist Ryanne Pilgeram explores the structural forces driving rural gentrification and examines how social and environmental inequality are written onto these landscapes. Based on in-depth interviews and archival data, she grounds this highly readable ethnography in a long view of the region that takes account of geological history, settler colonialism, and histories of power and exploitation within capitalism. Pilgeram’s analysis reveals the processes and mechanisms that make such communities vulnerable to gentrification and points the way to a radical justice that prioritizes the economic, social, and environmental sustainability necessary to restore these communities.
DividingParadise:RuralInequalityandtheDiminishingAmericanDream Late-stage capitalism is trying to remake rural America in its own image, and the resistance is telling. Small-town economies that have traditionally been based on logging, mining, farming, and ranching now increasingly rely on tourism, second-home ownership, and retirement migration. In Dividing Paradise, Jennifer Sherman tells the story of Paradise Valley, Washington, a rural community where amenity-driven economic growth has resulted in a new social landscape of inequality and privilege, with deep fault lines between old-timers and newcomers. In this complicated cultural reality, "class blindness" allows privileged newcomers to ignore or justify their impact on these towns, papering over the sentiments of anger, loss, and disempowerment of longtime locals. Based on in-depth interviews with individuals on both sides of the divide, this book explores the causes and repercussions of the stark inequity that has become commonplace across the United States. It exposes the mechanisms by which inequality flourishes and by which Americans have come to believe that disparity is acceptable and deserved. Sherman, who is known for her work on rural America, presents here a powerful case study of the ever-growing tensions between those who can and those who cannot achieve their visions of the American dream.

SESSION 114. Magnolia Saturday · 10:15 am-11:45 am
Organizer & Presider: Patricia Jennings, California State University East Bay
A rigorous study of the social meaning and consequences of racist humor, and a damning argument for when the joke is not just a joke. Having a "good" sense of humor generally means being able to take a joke without getting offended laughing even at a taboo thought or at another's expense. The insinuation is that laughter eases social tension and creates solidarity in an overly politicized social world. But do the stakes change when the jokes are racist? In The Souls of White Jokes Raúl Pérez argues that we must genuinely confront this unsettling question in
order to fully understand the persistence of anti-black racism and white supremacy in American society today. W.E.B. Du Bois's prescient essay "The Souls of White Folk" was one of the first to theorize whiteness as a social and political construct based on a feeling of superiority over racialized others a kind of racial contempt. Pérez extends this theory to the study of humor, connecting theories of racial formation to parallel ideas about humor stemming from laughter at another's misfortune. Critically synthesizing scholarship on race, humor, and emotions, he uncovers a key function of humor as a tool for producing racial alienation, dehumanization, exclusion, and even violence. Pérez tracks this use of humor from blackface minstrelsy to contemporary contexts, including police culture, politics, and far-right extremists. Rather than being harmless fun, this humor plays a central role in reinforcing and mobilizing racist ideology and power under the guise of amusement. The Souls of White Jokes exposes this malicious side of humor, while also revealing a new facet of racism today. Though it can be comforting to imagine racism as coming from racial hatred and anger, the terrifying reality is that it is tied up in seemingly benign, even joyful, everyday interactions as well and for racism to be eradicated we must face this truth. About the author: Raúl Pérez is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of La Verne. His work has been published in American Behavioral Scientist, Discourse and Society, Ethnicities, and Sociological Perspectives, and featured in Time, The Grio, Latino Rebels, and Zócalo Public Square. Discussants: Raul Perez, University of La Verne; Jennifer Eichstedt, Humboldt State University; Prisca Gayles, University of Nevada, Reno

Organizer: Wendy Ng, California State University East Bay
Reconstructing and reframing the collective narrative of Japanese American Incarceration: Graphic novels open the door to alternative narratives from hitherto-marginalized communities, while engaging reader empathy. Lead author Frank Abe will present the text and artwork of We Hereby Refuse, and show how they work together to subvert the prevailing victim narratives of shikataganai (passive compliance with wartime incarceration), and go for broke (patriotic self-sacrifice to prove their loyalty). He will show how the work reframes the epic narrative of wartime incarceration through a rigorous examination of how incarcerees responded to the U.S government’s use of such legal and administrative tools as loyalty questionnaires, false constructions of loyalty and disloyalty, segregation based upon answers to those questionnaires, repatriation, resegregation, denationalization, and renunciation of U.S. citizenship. These actions created divisions among the incarcerees that persist within the Japanese American community to this day. Frank Abe has worked over four decades to reclaim and recover the story of wartime incarceration. He helped create the Days of Remembrance that kick-started the popular campaign for governmental apology and redress. He produced a film for PBS on the largest organized resistance to incarceration, Conscience and the Constitution. His biography of novelist John Okada uncovered the story behind the landmark novel No-No Boy and won an American Book Award. His new graphic novel, We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration, is based upon painstaking historical research and reconstruction.

KATRINA
KIMPORT
Organizer & Presider: Patricia Jennings, California State University East Bay Katrina Kimport: Associate Professor, Obstetrics, Gynecology, & Reproductive Sciences, Research Sociologist with Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), UC San Francisco About This Book: In the United States, the “right to choose” an abortion is the law of the land. But what if a woman continues her pregnancy because she didn’t really have a choice? What if state laws, federal policies, stigma, and a host of other obstacles push that choice out of her reach? Based on candid, in-depth interviews with women who considered but did not obtain an abortion, No Real Choice punctures the myth that American women have full autonomy over their reproductive choices. Focusing on the experiences of a predominantly Black and low-income group of women, sociologist Katrina Kimport finds that structural, cultural, and experiential factors can make choosing abortion impossible–especially for those who experience racism and class discrimination. From these conversations, we see the obstacles to “choice” these women face, such as bans on public insurance coverage of abortion and rampant antiabortion claims that abortion is harmful. Kimport's interviews reveal that even as activists fight to preserve Roe v. Wade, class and racial disparities have already curtailed many women’s freedom of choice. No Real Choice analyzes both the structural obstacles to abortion and the cultural ideologies that try to persuade women not to choose abortion. Told with care and sensitivity, No Real Choice gives voice to women whose experiences are often overlooked in debates on abortion, illustrating how real reproductive choice is denied, for whom, and at what cost.

In this entirely new third edition of The Impacts of Racism on White Americans, an exciting range of scholars make the case that racism often negatively affects Whites themselves, especially during the age of Trump. This volume advances the proposition that the problem of race in the U.S. is fundamentally one of White identity and culture, and that racism has substantial negative effects on White Americans through three key areas: (1) Trump-era cultural and institutional racism, bolstered by the use of historical notions of racial hierarchy; (2) institutional and interpersonal racism, which in turn drive individual racist behaviors; and finally, (3) racism’s interactional sequences and how they impact antiracism efforts.

come together in the interest of the committee’s mission, “to support the integration of social justice issues in academia and raise awareness of civil rights pedagogy for faculty working with students and community partners…and to promote and foster a community within Pacific Sociological Association that is committed in social activism.” For the 2022 PSA meeting we envision Just Coffee as an undergraduate student “fishbowl” conversation about ways that faculty can do a better job of centering marginalized students’ needs and feelings during difficult dialogues in the classroom. We are hearing from our BIPOC students that discussions about white supremacy, racism, and police violence, as well as the multiple ways people are resisting these things, are happening with more frequency and intensity in the classroom. While this is a good sign of progress, particularly for white people and other privileged groups who appear to be experiencing a rapid consciousness raising moment right now, there are costs to the BIPOC students who have to manage the ignorant comments, microaggressions, and exploitation of BIPOC trauma that often accompanies these learning moments in the classroom. Recognizing that most faculty are not equipped to successfully facilitate discussions like this, but are eager to build their chops, we hope to create a learning opportunity for faculty to hear from students themselves about ways they can improve the in-class experience for their BIPOC students. Discussants: Mary Robertson, Seattle University; Edelina Burciaga, University of Colorado Denver; Giselle Navarro-Cruz, Cal Poly Pomona; Elvia Ramirez, California State University Sacramento

VIRTUAL: LABOR ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN Organizer & Presider: Spencer Potiker, UC Irvine
Since the outbreak of the pandemic global supply chain disruptions have become normal. Supply chain malfunctions impact all of us from shortages of toilet paper to the inability to distribute vaccines to slow downs that hinder our holiday shopping. However, supply chain disruptions also put pressure and offload costs onto the workers that are responsible for moving goods from spatially disparate parts of the production process. This panel is a place where critical logistics and supply chain scholars can bring their research to discuss the supply chain crisis, supply chain capitalism, labor exploitation and abuses along the supply chain, and the ways in which the supply chain can be leveraged by labor and social movements to better the world. Critical interdisciplinary perspectives on global political economy and labor are particularly welcome.

VIRTUAL: WILDFIRES, BLIZZARDS AND PANDEMICS: ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN
Organizer & Presider: Allison Ford, Sonoma State University
How do we ensure academic freedom, and necessary resources to do our jobs when our work is disrupted by climate change? During the COVID19 pandemic, while students, staff and faculty were working remotely, California and Oregon experienced devastating, record wildfires. Californians experienced rolling blackouts that disrupted internet access. Soon after, Texas was hit by a snowstorm that overwhelmed the energy infrastructure, leaving many without water, electricity, or heat. Students, staff, and faculty are increasingly expected to adapt to rapidly changing, often dangerous climatic conditions. Climate-constrained teaching, learning and research are becoming the norm, as the effects of climate change escalate. This panel considers the ways that climate change and climate related disasters have shaped and will continue to reshape the way we teach and do research, particularly in relationship to academic freedom. How does disaster-adaptive teaching and research limit our ability to fully do our jobs? What policies and responses might universities and colleges implement in response to changing conditions that may provide or impede academic freedom? What strategies might sociologists employ to adapt to the demands of teaching and research under climate change? This panel invites participants to reflect on their experiences teaching and researching under climate change, to share strategies and practices that have worked, to reflect on lessons learned, and things that haven’t worked, and to provide mutual networks of support through reflection. This is not a formal research presentation, but a conversation on rapidly changing conditions, and the ways we might protect academic freedom within them.

VIRTUAL: GETTING JOBS IN ACADEMIA
· 3:30 pm-5:00 pm
· 3:30 pm-5:00 pm
Organizer & Presider: Aya Ida, CSU - Sacramento
Academia have unique process of job applications, interviews, and negotiations after getting an offer, but many graduate students are new to the job market in academia and often unaware of the norms in the job market. Moreover, each types of academic institutions (such as R-1 universities, teaching-focused universities, and community colleges) has different expectations and processes in the job application, interviews, and types of candidates they are searching. Often, those expectations are not very clear. In this session, the panelists from different types of institutions will explain those expectations and share their experiences of being a candidate and/or being on the search committee. Later half of the session will focus on answering questions from the audience and providing additional inputs for students seeking jobs in academia. Discussants: Tonmar Johnson, Solano Community College; Amy Orr, Linfield University; Marisela Martinez-Cola, Morehouse College; Sally Raskoff, Los Angeles Valley College; Amanda Shigihara, California State University Sacramento

‘We Will Do Better’ and Other Myths:
Shirley A. Jackson
In 2020, the demand to “defund the police” ignored the role of racism in institutions outside of law enforcement. This oversight by those who may have been well-intentioned gave the erroneous impression that police departments were the only barrier to social justice. The impression is that if the police were defunded we will have solved the problem and any other existing social injustices would disappear. This restrictive conception of social change was problematic in that it left other social institutions unchecked and without accountability.
Claims to address oppression must go beyond scapegoating one social institution and those who work within it. Doing so ignores the functioning of other institutions and the people who comprise them in preserving the status quo. Institutions are never going to change if the people who hold positions of leadership remain the same. It is hard to be convinced without a critical examination of institutions of power and the people who maintain the status quo. Paulo Freire drew the same conclusion, stating, that if individuals “are unable to perceive critically the themes of their time, and thus to intervene actively in reality, they are carried along in the wake of change.” He observed that what is required is “an especially flexible, critical spirit”; but, if such a spirit is lacking, individuals “cannot perceive the marked contradictions which occur in society as emerging values in search of affirmation and fulfillment clash with earlier values seeking self-preservation” (1974:6). In sum, change requires that we examine and critique how the actions of institutions can belie their rhetoric about creating and supporting change.
The manifestation of “woke washing” a situation in which where there is an acknowledgment of racism and the glomming on of causes calling for the elimination of racist structures and practices but where no real consequential action is taken became the raisond’etre for individuals and institutions. Both had, prior to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, ignored previous calls to respond. As the protests continued, it seemed like everyone wanted to get into the game of avowing their support. It was a race to see who could get their statements out the quickest. Behind those statements, unfortunately, change has ranged from superficial to slow, to nonexistent. After the race to respond ended, we are left with the appearance of support for BLM and social justice on the part of those who give up as little as possible while maintaining the existing social order and the institutions within it.
This conference encourages participants to examine these issues through research, teaching, activism, and public sociology. What claims were institutions making prior to, during, and after, their claims to “do better”? What does this tell us about the sincerity or possibility of institutional change? Are changes meaningful or superficial? Do changes result in a payoff economic or otherwise for those who do performative politics on social media, through diversity-enhanced advertising, or by increasing numbers of students or employees who are targeted for inclusion? What have institutions done to increase opportunities for advancement in the workplace of the populations they are making efforts to include and maintain? How does inclusive pedagogy play a part in social justice efforts? How are students and student groups creating change? How are communities and community organizations responding to social justice efforts? And what are social institutions (including higher education) doing that show their efforts are empty rhetoric? I hope you have been inspired to think about how you might participate in this reckoning of rhetoric. Freire. Paolo. 1974. EducationforCriticalConsciousness . London: Bloomsbury Academic.
