Abstract
This piece utilizes performative writing, poetry, and autoethnographic personal narrative to explore tensions that emerge from the clash between my "academic identity" as a critical scholar and my subject position as a heterosexual white male. These pieces focus on interrogating social, cultural, and political systems of power utilizing performance autoethnography as a tool with which to deconstruct whiteness and heteronormative privilege. This piece offers an in-depth, performative gaze at what the critical negotiation of whiteness looks and feels like on the level of lived experience.
