The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the schooling experiences of 10 Black\u2013White biracial students. Specifically, the goals of the study were to (a) identify the factors Black\u2013White biracial students, ages 16 to 22, perceive as influential in their schooling; and (b) identify the factors the students\u2019 parents perceive as influential in their children\u2019s schooling. This study includes a brief review of the literature related to the schooling experiences of Black\u2013White Biracial students. A qualitative <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Phenomenology_(psychology)\" target=\"_blank\">phenomenological<\/a> methodology was used to guide the design, implementation, and analysis of the study. The findings from the interviews with the biracial youth and their parents resulted in five themes, which were (a) region and school diversity; (b) peers; (c) teachers; (d) curriculum; and (e) socioeconomic status. Implications for researchers, policy makers, and teachers are outlined.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/eus.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2011\/05\/17\/0013124511406917.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Gray Matters More Than Black or White: The Schooling Experiences of Black-White Biracial Students Education and Urban Society Volume 45, Number 2\u00a0(March 2013) pages 175-207 DOI: 10.1177\/0013124511406917 Rhina Maria Fernandes Williams, Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education Georgia State University, Atlanta Although research is scant, there is a growing interest in the manifestation of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,8,23,20],"tags":[7611,421,7610],"class_list":["post-16456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-media-archive","category-teaching","category-usa","tag-education-and-urban-society","tag-rhina-fernandes-williams","tag-rhina-maria-fernandes-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16456\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
