TEDxLansing-Anne Hornak, PhD-Identifying as White June 7, 2011

Favorite:

Individuals who self-identify as White in America often do not need to think about their racial identity because it has become ubiquitous in our society. The notion of Whiteness is everywhere and many norms and rules are based on a White culture. Anne explores being White for six individuals who took part in a 6-year longitudinal study that began to challenge their notion of race and Whiteness. The participants were encouraged to explore their definition of being White and what that means in a racial context.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
