In this article, the authors describe a four-phase pedagogical project they undertook in response to the strong resistance they encountered from a number of their white women students who objected to the readings and discussions of white skin privilege. In an interdisciplinary program where 73% of the students are white women, the authors teach upper-level university social science courses that include the study of racism. White women themselves, the authors found their stories of students' resistance to be useful springboards for reflection. Reading and discussing the literature on teaching about whiteness as they worked with their stories, the authors were able to reframe their own initial concerns about how to read their students' discontent. This article reviews key themes from the literature on student resistance in anti-racist classrooms, describes the interview process the authors used to elicit each other's teaching stories, analyzes five of these stories, and presents some of the approaches that they developed to better reach their students.
