Research Project on “Mixed Race” Identity: Call for Edmonton, Canada Area Participants
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Canada
2014-01-31
Jillian Paragg, Ph.D. Student
Department of Sociology
Are you of mixed racial background? Do you/have you identified as “mixed race”, “multiracial”, or with other “mixed” self-identifications (i.e. biracial, mulatto, eurasian, happa, creole etc.)? Do other people identify you as “mixed”?
I am looking for residents in the Edmonton area to participate in life story interviews who:
- are 40-60 years of age
- are of mixed racial parentage
- were born in Canada or have been in Canada since the 1970s
I am conducting a project on mixed race identity for my doctoral dissertation in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta. The purpose of the project is to explore respondents’ experiences growing up and living as “mixed race” during the multicultural era in Canada.
Interviews will involve a minimum of two sittings, each taking at least 1 to 1.5 hours – for a total time commitment of 2 to 3 hours.
If you would like to be part of this study or have questions, please contact paragg@ualberta.ca (by March at the latest). This project is supervised by Dr. Sara Dorow, who can be contacted at sara.dorow@ualberta.ca. Please feel free to pass this call for participants on to anyone in the Edmonton area who may be interested in participating.
