How Does Iowa State University Construct Multiethnic and Multiracial Students?
- Deepak Navi (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This presentation will examine how institutions categorize multiethnic or multiracial students (institutional assignment vs. self identity). We will be displaying interviews conducted with some of the multiethnic students at Iowa State University. During the videos, we will present their perception of race/ethnicity and how they feel they are being viewed in the university community. We will provide clarity between race and ethnicity in addition to history on racial and ethnic labels. This discussion is meant to move beyond relating the material to scholarships and programs and examine issues affecting individuals.
