@katiedimartin Wait I’m also 26, working on my PhD, and having pretty much the same reoccurring nightmare! Every time I find out I’m stuck in highschool because I somehow missed a whole math class 😭

Found the White Fragility Scale (WFS) immediately after I tweeted 🥳

Looking for a quantitative measure for the White Savior Complex. Anyone have ideas? Working on creating one if I can’t find one, and so far I have items from APOS-2 for awareness of racism, and the white guilt subscale from PCRW. Lmk your thoughts!
