As intermarriage rates increase for all groups, the experiences of multiracial people reflect in distinctive ways the cultural and identity choices that individuals and communities are facing. The course will concentrate on the significance of both ascribed and chosen racial identities, examining how they influence the experiences and choices of individuals, families, and communities. A second area of attention will be to how multicultural backgrounds shape relationships and practices within families. Other issues to be discussed include living in multiracial communities, public policy implications, transracial adoptees, self\u2010representation in literature and memoirs, and media representations. Students will have the opportunity to investigate a topic of their choice in a research paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASAM 187.
