TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The White kid can do whatever he wants: the racial socialization of a gifted education program JO - Educational studies (Mahwah, NJ) A1 - Howard, Joy SP - 553 EP - 568 VL - 54 IS - 5 N2 - Drawing from a 14-month ethnographic study at an elementary school in the US South, I examine the role that the gifted and talented (GT) program played in racial socialization at the school. I use the principle of Whiteness as property (Harris, 1995) to analyze space as curriculum, the physical and social spaces of a school that structure how particular student bodies are positioned in relation to power and privilege. I argue that the segregated GT structure perpetuates racial inequities that young children are taught to accept and emulate. I conclude with implications for practice and future studies about the role of GT in racial socialization.
