Abstract

ABSTRACTBecause Multiracial people are often pressed between socially constructed monoracial categories and forced to navigate a monoracial-only paradigm of race, Multiracial individuals may develop a heightened (Multi)racial consciousness, through which they queer race, or (un)consciously challenge normative, often-oppressive racial constructs. While the word ‘queer’ has come to signify an essential identity for some, specifically those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender, it is also a political identity that applies to people at odds with the dominant, such as Multiracial people. This study focuses on 24 Multiracial campus professionals’ experiences with frustrating race in post-secondary contexts in the U.S. by exploring the question, What are Multiracial campus professionals’ experiences with queering race in U.S. postsecondary contexts? In exploring Multiracial professionals’ experiences with queering race, this study aims to better inform institutional and individual understandings of advancing racial equity.
