| Summary: | When a predominantly white organization decides to take on white normativity, it is cause for hope. However, havoc ensues when well-intended folks are caught enacting white normativity. Taking a performativity-inspired approach, this article analyzes what happened at the 2018 Religious Education Association annual meeting. By examining the behavior of conference leaders and participants, the author reflects on a series of steps and painful missteps that dramatize dynamics of race and power. This study considers what actors are enacting in relation to one another, considering the legacies of racism that tacitly guide our relating across race. |
