Whiteness and Teacher Education

Whiteness and Teacher Education

By: Edie White

Due to the rise of internet use and a move toward globalization, it may be assumed that white millennial college students are more accepting of cultural diversity and are more likely to be advocates for social justice than generations that have come before them. This project shows that while many white students know how to speak the language of "correctness" and to some degree even believe in what they are saying, their limited personal experiences with those who are racially different from themselves often bump against their beliefs about racial acceptance and equality. This project investigates the ways that one facet of identity, whiteness, influences teachers’ understanding of their roles in the schools and informs their decision making within their practice. It explores several life stories of five teacher candidates, all born after 1985. Through these stories we get a sense of how white prospective teachers imagine themselves as teachers of diverse students and how they imagine developing equitable practices. This work advocates that teacher educators help pre-service teachers unpack and understand their biases in order to facilitate their students in balancing their life experiences with whom they imagine themselves to be as teachers.

By: Edie Goodwin

Twenty-two-year-old Molly Parsons has just graduated from college when she lands a job teaching fifth grade in Winslow, a small farming community in northeastern Ohio. Just as she and her friend Eva are preparing to move into their new apartment, Eva backs out, leaving Molly without a place to live—until she finds Bertie’s Place. As she arrives at the boardinghouse operating out of a beautiful Victorian home, she is greeted by the owner, Bertie Evans, a spry, older woman who immediately welcomes her with open arms. Grateful for a place to live, Molly settles into her teaching role while making her share of bonehead mistakes. Thankfully, Molly is tough and resilient. More than anything, she has a loving heart and forgives others. But when she encounters more troubles and challenges, will Molly become a wiser, more loving woman who can forgive herself too? Bertie's Place is the heartfelt story of a young teacher as she attempts to navigate through her first year out of college while wading through love, loss, heartache, and betrayal.

Lady Rags

By: Edie Johnson

Lady Rags takes place in Grayport, a moderate-size town on the coast of Western Washington. Gil Hayworth owns and operates a drugstore where he is the pharmacist. He has a wife, Pam, and three children, Boyd, Tim, and Traci, all in their teens. On a rather rainy morning, on his way to work, Gil sees an unusual sight for Grayport—a bag lady. Yes, there are transient people in town, but until now, there hasn’t been a bag lady. And since she has only been seen recently, Gil’s curiosity is whetted: Why in the world would she pick the soggy Pacific Northwest and particularly Grayport to make her home? His family is none too thrilled with Gil’s interest in the old bag lady because they’re having problems of their own and can’t seem to get along anymore. Gil loves his family and wants everyone to understand his interest in Lady Rags. Gil finds out that Lady Rags came to Grayport with Duke, who works in the kitchen at the Union Gospel Mission. He learns from Duke that Mollie came with him from Missouri; she can’t talk, and at some point in her life, someone had tried to kill her. Lady Rags remembers none of it. She refuses to go to the Mission or Salvation Army for help, so she lives in the Grand Hotel that has been vacant for years and is very unpleasant. Gil is determined to find her family. Through his friend, Harv, at the local newspaper, he discovers who the bag lady might be. If she went missing from some place in Missouri forty-plus years ago, someone must be wondering what happened to her. 100 Lady Rags 100 Lady Rags

Frontier Nursing in Appalachia: History, Organization and the Changing Culture of Care

By: Edie West

This book provides a historical analysis of the Frontier Nursing Services in the Eastern Appalachians of the United States, as well as a review of the oral history tradition of former frontier and non-frontier nurses. The data was gathered from 2003 to 2007, and the historical part covers the years 1900 to 1970. The objective of the study presented here was to conduct interviews with former frontier and non-frontier nurses in order to better understand their family and personal relationships, and the experiences that motivated their career choices. These interviews also give a voice to the working and middle-class women of the FNS. The emerging themes include moral inhabitability in work/education environments, the generational mix, nurse-physician and male-female relationships at the workplace, the role of technology, humanitarian versus financial rewards, and the public image of nurses. In addition, the book examines how the FNS shifted from a community/grass-roots structure to the corporate/business model of healthcare delivery employed today. In closing, it stresses the importance of explorig past nursing in order to better grasp present nursing. It also represents a testament to the professional work and vital contributions of frontier nurses.
