Dr. Delima received her doctorate in Higher and Postsecondary Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she focused on the learning experiences of first-generation college-going students of color and faculty members’ use of a funds of knowledge approach for teaching in college classrooms.

mechanical engineering, with a total of 64faculty members across the departments.Study designFor this study, faculty from both the College of Education and the College of Engineering wererecruited. Faculty members who agreed to participate were asked to attend a one-houron-campus workshop on concept mapping. The purpose, as portrayed to the participants, wastwo-fold: a) participate in a study on topics faculty members from different disciplines prioritizeas part of their curriculum, and b) practice concept mapping as a pedagogical tool to be used intheir own teaching practice.The researchers received responses from 35 faculty members with interest in participating in theworkshop. Of those 35, 6 participants requested virtual access to the
colleagues (2014) define CWS as a way to “problematize the normality of hegemonicwhiteness” because most white people “deflect, ignore, or dismiss their role, racialization, andprivilege in race dynamics” [37, p.291]. The field of CWS owes much of its foundation toscholars and authors of color such as W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, bell hooks, Toni Morrison,C.L.R. James, and Carter G Woodson who spoke to the gaze of Whiteness. These historicalunderstandings of race and Whiteness also derive from theorizing colonization and itssubjectivation of the colonized by people such as Albert Memmi, Frantz Fanon, ÉdouardGlissant, Suzanne and Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, and Jean-Paul Sartre.Describing whiteness Whiteness is the way that white people’s

We believethis is because although this student is in her junior year as a computer engineering student, sheis still building her network. The microsystem represents systems that are close to the individual,therefore, a junior computer engineering student might have many forms of capital that are closeto her and that allow her to succeed in her major. However, this student is likely still building herexternal networks that would exist in the mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, orchronosystem. The mesosystem would require her to have at least two systems with whom sheinteracts, such as when an advisor advocates for her to one of her professors
