Hi, I’m Maysie,
I’m an undergraduate student majoring Race, Ethnicity, and Migration Studies at Colorado College and I am currently conducting my senior research project.
I am looking for Black/White mixed-race people who would be willing to take part in a survey and potentially have a conversation with me over a video call to discuss their experiences growing up mixed-race in America and, more recently, what their experiences have been in the last few months with regards to the Black Lives Matter movement and the topic of anti-black racism gaining global recognition.
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the experiences of Black/White mixed-race Americans, giving voice to the challenges they may have faced growing up in a society in which the divide between Black and White have always been clear, as well as to document the unique position of being Black/White mixed-race during a time in which the subject of anti-black racism and police violence is being discussed globally and the topic of race, and racism in general, is being unpacked by many White folks who may have never unpacked said topic before.
If you choose to participate in this study you will be entered to win a $25 prize upon completing the survey and be entered to win additional $25 if you participate in an interview with the researcher (that’s me!). Meaning you could potentially win $50! In addition to the chance to win a little cash, you will also be helping to contribute to the ever growing field of research on the mixed-race/multiracial community in the U.S. If you’re interested in taking part in this research please click the link below to take the survey and find out more about setting up an interview!
