Speaking on:

“Count Me In: Challenges & Possibilities of 
Accounting for Multiracial Students in Higher Education”

This presentation will provide results from a 
mixed-methods study of the racial designation 
choices of multiracial college students. The 
quantitative component of the study is comprised 
of a national, longitudinal sample of 
approximately 1,100 mixed-race students from over 
100 institutions, and examines how and why racial 
identity expression changes over the span of 
college. The qualitative data­taken from a sample 
of ten students­reveal the complexity of 
self-identification, including how context 
dependent it is, and how it can be affected by a 
range of background characteristics and college 
experiences. The presentation will draw on 
examples from both methodological approaches to 
illustrate the complexity of racial identity, 
which has implications for other seemingly static dimensions of identity.
