Patterns of gender and racial privilege.(yep)(Interview)
When Dr. Juanita Johnson-Bailey became a full professor, she expected her life to change. Surely she'd finally have the credibility some people can take for granted.
"Guess what, you're still a woman and you're still black," she told WIHE. "The only thing that changed was probably my mindset."
His race and gender have given Dr. Ronald M. Cervero credibility since long before his latest promotion. Both are professors in the University of Georgia's department of lifelong education, administration and policy. He's department head and she is associate head.

He was her mentor from the time she was a graduate student. When she joined the faculty at Georgia College, she talked with her old mentor about the stereotypes and assumptions she encountered. "He never tried to rationalize away what was happening," she said. Instead he saw parallels between her experiences and what he was hearing from other women and minority faculty.
Their conversation continued after she joined the faculty at the University of Georgia. A teacher of Women's Studies invited them to speak to the class about white privilege. Taking turns, each recounted a way they'd been treated (or ignored) because of their race or gender. They spoke to more and more classes and eventually to the American Educational Research Association (AERA) conference in Chicago in April.
She told WIHE that after such presentations, students would invariably ask him, "Did this really happen to her?" He replied yes, it did, but they should really be asking her. Some had the grace to be abashed.
