Mixed-Race/Multiracial Identity Survey 
This is a survey for sociological research about mixed race identity for a dissertation project. If is meant only for those that self-identify as "mixed" or multiracial. 

While this survey will be used to understand the multiracial experience across the lifespan and in different contexts, it also seeks to give people who self-identify as mixed or multiracial an opportunity to describe themselves and their experiences. 

At the end of the survey, there will be a place for you to check a box regarding interest in being a part of a larger study. This includes one-on-one interviews over zoom or even an in-person follow along in your "real life." 

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reach out via email at ianwaller@ucsb.edu
