Pedagogy.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.

Abstract
Epistemological racism occurs in college classrooms through pedagogies that marginalize or exclude knowledge about and from people of Color . Uprooting epistemological racism in higher education classrooms requires the use of pedagogies that centralize the needs of the oppressed and work with all students to develop their critical race conscience. This dissertation explores the meaning of critical race conscience in relationship to the development of pedagogies that work against oppression and toward liberation. Utilizing a noetic approach to understanding consciousness, this dissertation advances a theoretical and practical understanding of critical race conscience centering morality in the development of all structures of consciousness. I apply this theory to the analysis of a critical race participatory action research study with three faculty on the development of transformative pedagogy in higher education. In this analysis, I uncover some of the disciplinary narratives that inhibit faculty from teaching for racial justice and I illuminate the role of consciousness in developing a transformative pedagogical practice. By outlining the structures of a critical race conscience and demonstrating the role of each in teaching for liberation, this study encourages reconsideration of faculty development and classroom learning.
