Creepy White Gaze: Rethinking the Diorama as a Pedagogical Activity
Sterzuk, Andrea; Mulholland, Valerie
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v57 n1 p16-27 Spr 2011
Drawing on gaze and postcolonial theory, this article provides a theoretical discussion of a problematic photograph published in a provincial teachers' newsletter. The photo consists of a White settler child and two White settler educators gathered around his heritage fair entry diorama entitled "Great Plains Indians." This article analyzes this image to gain a better understanding of how curriculum and pedagogical activities work discursively to produce dominant and dominated racial positions in Saskatchewan.
