520 $aThis study examines the conflicts and tensions that six teachers in a suburban secondary school in southern Ontario experienced implementing integrative anti-racist educational practices. These practices include addressing issues of diversity and difference, challenging forms of oppression, and the structures and systems that produce educational inequalities. The study utilizes critical ethnographic research methodology. This research approach focuses on the lived experiences of the participants and seeks to bring about change and transformation in their beliefs and practices.The results of the study indicate that teachers implementing anti-racist educational practices experience conflicts, tensions, and trauma as they challenge forms of oppression such as (homophobia, racism, and whiteness), and address issues of diversity and difference. This study also focuses on the kind of support that is necessary for teachers to continue to implement anti-racist educational practices. Experiential collaborative mentorship is posited in this study as a means to provide that support. It is a notion of mentoring that focuses on dialogue, shared experiences, and resource support for teachers. This study has practical and theoretical implications for anti-racist educational practices and discourse, particularly in the area of anti-homophobia education, the complexities and possibilities and the kind of support that is necessary.
