Looking for volunteers: Racially Ambiguous Multiracial Individuals

multiracial:

If you’re over the age of 25 and want to help out with a multiracial study, check out the request below. (As a racially ambiguous person myself, I give it a thumbs up :) -Jay)

Hello! My name is Shirley Newcomb, and I am a fourth-year doctoral student in counseling psychology at Marquette University. I am currently seeking volunteers to participate in my dissertation research examining racial miscategorization and identity development of racially ambiguous multiracial individuals.

As a person of mixed raced heritage and racially ambiguous features, you have the opportunity to contribute to the growing body of research related to multiracial identity development and well being. In order to participate you must be at least 25 years of age. The study has been reviewed and approved by Marquette University’s Institutional Review Board. Participation in this study involves 2 digitally recorded, telephone interviews. The first interview will take about 45 to 60 minutes; the second interview is scheduled for approximately 2 weeks after the first and will take about 20-25 minutes.

The focus of the interviews will be on your personal experiences of being racially miscategorized (i.e. having others racially identify you differently than you identify yourself), your reactions and feelings towards these events, and your racial identity development. You will be provided with the interview protocol prior to the interview so that you can see the questions participants will be asked. Files, as well as the resulting transcripts and data, will be assigned a code number to protect your confidentiality; after transcription, files will be erased.

I recognize that there is a slight chance that talking about your experiences of racial miscategorization and multiracial identity development may be uncomfortable, and I am grateful for your willingness to do so. Participation in this project is strictly voluntary, and you may withdraw your consent at any time without penalty.

If you choose to participate, please contact me at shirley.newcomb@mu.edu and I will email you the necessary forms and contact you to set up a time for an initial interview. I will also send the interview protocol so that you may make fully informed consent. Please take a look at these questions prior to your first interview so that you have had a chance to reflect on your experiences. If you do not meet the criteria for participation, I would be grateful if you would pass this request along to a colleague who might be interested in participating.

Appreciatively,
