Guest Talk: Why Don’t We Notice the White Kids Sitting Together in the Student Union? with Nolan Cabrera
Please join us for a talk with Dr. Nolan L. Cabrera, a nationally-recognized expert in the areas of racism/anti-racism, Whiteness, and Ethnic Studies. He is currently a Professor in the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona, and was the only academic featured in the MTV documentary White People. He is the author of the award-winning book White Guys on Campus, and he was an expert witness in the Tucson Unified School District’s Mexican American Studies case (Gonzalez v. Douglas) – the highest-profile ethnic studies case in the country’s history. He has given hundreds of lectures, keynote addresses, and trainings, throughout the country. Dr. Cabrera recently published two books: Whiteness in the Ivory Tower (2024, Teachers College Press) and Banned: The Fight for Mexican American Studies in the Streets and in the Courts (co-authored with Robert S. Chang; 2025, Cambridge University Press).
This event is organized by the Teachers College Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study and co-sponsored by the Gottesman Libraries.
