New Article Published on Multiracial Native American Student Identity
I recently published a new research in the Journal of Student Affairs Research & Practice (JSARP) entitled Personal “Reservations”: Revealing the Selective Invisibility in Multiracial Native American Students. This is published with Ashley Jeffers, Amelia-Marie Altstadt, Dr. Kim Bullington & Dr. Martha Enciso,. My co-authors and I distilled findings from an exploratory study about how multiracial Native American college students negoiate their identities against the background forces of monoracism and whiteness. These students engaged in selective invisibility to avoid monoracialism or feeling invisible to at their institution. They also held “personal reservations” about the authenticity of their Indigenous heritages and questioned their self-identification. However, these students were conscious and proud of the multiple racial identities and locations in which they sought to forge a new integrated sense of self.
