Abstract The article is principally written for adult educators. It models an auto-ethnographic approach situating this within a critical pedagogic orientation. As an adult educator working in the Republic of Ireland, I draw from two instances in my own life that helped me to re-think my racialised identity. By reflecting on discomforts in terms of my own racial identity, the internalised nature of both white supremacy and racial oppression emerge. The stories and reflections that I share are intended as a prompt for other adult educators, particularly white-educators, to think about their own racialised identity and to contemplate ways in which they benefit from often unacknowledged advantages. This awareness can better equip adult educators to problematise simplistic interpretations of multiculturalism and to authentically ally with those who carry the weight of discrimination.

作为白人成人教育工作者，利用我们自己的生活故事来探索权力和特权的不对称

摘要本文主要是为成人教育者撰写的。它为自动民族志方法建模，将其置于关键的教学方向之内。作为在爱尔兰共和国工作的成人教育工作者，我从自己的生活中借鉴了两个实例，这些实例帮助我重新思考了自己的种族身份。通过以我自己的种族身份来思考不适，白人至上和种族压迫的内在本质就出现了。我分享的故事和思考旨在促使其他成年教育者，尤其是白人教育者，思考自己的种族身份，并思考他们如何从通常未被承认的优势中受益。
