 Paula Rothenberg. Paula is Director of The New Jersey Project on Inclusive Scholarship, Curriculum, and Teaching and Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at The William Paterson University of New Jersey. She lectures and consults on a variety of topics including multicultural curriculum transformation, issues of inequality, equity and privilege, globalizing the curriculum, and white privilege. Author of Invisible Privilege: A Memoir About Race, Class and Gender, her diversity text Race, Class and Gender in the United States is now in its sixth edition and her anthology White Privilege: Readings on the Other Side of Racism is now in its second edition. Her newest college text Beyond Borders: Thinking Critically about Global Issues was published by Worth in July 2005. Paula Rothenberg is also coeditor of Creating an Inclusive College Curriculum: A Teaching Sourcebook from the New Jersey Project and Feminist Frameworks Alternative Theoretical Accounts of the Relations between Women and Men. Her articles and essays appear in journals and anthologies across the disciplines and many have been widely reprinted.
A prominent figure in the creation of women's studies and multicultural studies as academic disciplines, Rothenberg is perhaps best known for her textbook Race, Class and Gender in the United States, which was widely attacked by conservatives defending traditional curricula. In her text Invisible Privilege she shows how higher education upholds race, class, and gender bias, and, more generally, analyzes the ways in which many white people's unwavering belief in their own good intentions leaves them blind to their societal privilege and their role in perpetuating class difference.
