Janet Carter is a writer, editor, and educator currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area. With founder Robert Horton, she co-directs The UNtraining, a program for untraining white liberal racism. She was born and raised in Burlington, Vermont and graduated from Antioch College in 1971.
“Good Little White Girl” is based on her book in progress, investigating the ways she learned to be white, growing up in a white liberal family in the Vermont of the 1950s and 1960s. Janet also leads “Write On: Exploring Whiteness” workshops for people interested in using “writing in the moment” as a way to learn and share more about white racial conditioning and personal history.
