Gardner Seawright teaches courses on the social, historical, and philosophical foundations of education. Before joining the faculty at Whitewater, Gardner was a middle school social studies teacher. His research examines the ways that race influences the everyday act of teaching. In particular, his work explores the relationality and phenomenology of whiteness in the classroom, as well as the development of antiracist, anti-colonial, and place-based pedagogies and curricula. From these lenses, using both qualitative and theoretical approaches, Gardner's scholarship analyzes teacher-student relationships, place-based education, qualitative methodologies, teacher education, and social studies education.
