Mitigating White Invisibility through Intentional Reflective Practice
Abstract
White invisibility involves the notion that whites do not have to be noticed. Creating a society where
there are people and then people of color. This can lead to several issues, particularly as it pertains to educating
adults. Adult Education is grounded in Andragogy, which includes educating all adult learners. Making any learner
invisible does a disservice for all parties involved. In this paper we will highlight how an Adult Education program
addresses this issue by including courses in its curriculum that focuses on English Speakers of Other Languages,
Special Education in Adult Education, and Adult Development Learning and Motivation where the learners in this
setting are exposed to differences not only hinged in marginalization and hierarchy but through Culture & Context
course learners understand experientially how to build community by expanding their perspectives.
