Learning in the Dark: How Assumptions of Whiteness Shape Classroom Knowledge.
Maher, Frances A.; Tetreault, Mary Kay Thompson
Harvard Educational Review, v67 n2 p321-49 Sum 1997

They use classroom and interview data to investigate how students' constructions of gender, class, ethnicity, and race are informed by these assumptions. (SK)
