Disrupting Whiteness in Coaching and Leadership with Fenella Trevillion
<p>In this episode of the Whiteness at Work podcast, I speak with coach, supervisor, researcher and writer Fenella Trevillion about whiteness, coaching, race, reflexivity, and the emotional and embodied realities of anti-racist practice.</p><p>Fenella reflects on her experiences growing up in apartheid South Africa, her work within health and mental health services, and how witnessing racism across institutions shaped her understanding of whiteness and power.</p><p>Drawing from her paper Disrupting My Whiteness: Towards Inhabiting Self-Enquiry into Race and Whiteness, we explore what it means for white practitioners to engage critically with their own racism, discomfort, fragility, and positionality within coaching and leadership spaces.</p><p>Together, we discuss:</p><ul><li><p>whiteness as a system of power and normalisation</p></li><li><p>embodiment, discomfort, and visceral reactions to racism</p></li><li><p>white fragility and white saviourism</p></li><li><p>anti-racist coaching and supervision</p></li><li><p>reflexivity, autoethnography, and self-enquiry</p></li><li><p>race and power in coaching relationships</p></li><li><p>collective spaces, solidarity, and learning communities</p></li><li><p>institutional racism and the legacy of the New Cross Fire</p></li><li><p>whiteness, ritual, politeness, and silence</p></li><li><p>queerness, othering, and identity</p></li></ul><p>We also discuss the tensions of disrupting whiteness in majority white spaces, the emotional labour involved in anti-racist work, and the importance of learning to stay present rather than retreating into defensiveness or performance.</p><p>This conversation will resonate with coaches, educators, therapists, leadership practitioners, researchers, supervisors, anti-racist practitioners, and anyone interested in race, power, identity, and organisational culture.</p><p>References:</p><p>Trevillion, F.

The Architecture of Whiteness: Universities, Power and Institutional Racism
<p>In this episode of the Whiteness at Work podcast, I speak with researcher and Leverhulme Early Career Fellow <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhianna-garrett/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dr Rhianna Garrett</a> about whiteness, higher education, mixed-race identity, institutional racism, and the systems that continue to shape who belongs within universities and leadership spaces.</p><p>Drawing from her widely discussed thesis, The Architecture of Whiteness, Rhianna explores how universities are not neutral spaces, but institutions historically constructed through racialised systems, policies, values, and professional norms that continue to protect white comfort and reproduce inequity.</p><p>Together, we discuss:</p><ul><li>what “the architecture of whiteness” means</li><li>whiteness as a system rather than an identity</li><li>racism in higher education and leadership culture</li><li>mixed-race identity and resistance</li><li>safeguarding and racial harm in institutions</li><li>performative EDI and institutional optics</li><li>activism, solidarity, and anti-racist scholarship</li><li>the online backlash Rhianna received after publicly sharing her thesis</li></ul><p>We also explore how whiteness operates through policy interpretation, institutional culture, professionalism, invisibility, and organisational behaviour, alongside the emotional and political realities of researching race in public.</p><p>This conversation will resonate with educators, researchers, leadership teams, school leaders, unions, students, policymakers, anti-racist practitioners, and anyone interested in race, power, education, and organisational culture.</p><p>You can find Dr Rhianna Garrett’s work through Northumbria University, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and her social platform Rhimixedviews.</p><p><br>References :<br>Garrett, R.
