The growing collection of both historical and contemporary accounts of those who are perceived to be mixing or of mixed race highlight the often intense emotions involved in crossing perceived boundaries of colour and culture. Yet, whilst discussions of the sensitivities and politics facing those mixing or of mixed race form the backbone of much research into the subject, much less is said about these issues in relation to the research process. Such reflections, however, are important not only for making sense of the frequent intensity of emotion that emerges from such research but also as regards constructing, conducting and disseminating it. Drawing in particular on a number of research projects conducted by the author and colleagues, this paper will discuss some of the emotive issues involved in researching the notion of \u2018mixedness\u2019 and their methodological implications for researchers as well as the research field itself.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1755458613000625\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed emotions: Reflections on researching racial mixing and mixedness Emotion, Space and Society Volume 11, May 2014 pages 79\u201388 DOI: 10.1016\/j.emospa.2013.07.002 Chamion Cabellero, Senior Research Fellow Social Capital Research Group London South Bank University Researching racial and ethnic issues can involve entering a highly emotive terrain and the subject of &#8216;mixed race&#8217; is no exception.
