To examine the complex layers of those who are multi-racial/ethnic/cultured, the mixed-identity of the first author -- an art therapy doctoral student -- is first deconstructed, followed by the delineation of systemic and historical contexts.

Third wave student development theory looks across and between populations for constructs with shared meanings that may present new possibilities for understanding student development.

While the Two or More Races category has been the de facto mechanism to count multiracial college students since 2010, little research has critically examined how this category has been used in institutional research contexts.

Research on college outcomes is often disaggregated by ethnicity or race of students. Common classifications of race and ethnicity include Asian, Black, Hispanic, White, and other (Shapiro et al., 2017).

Poststructuralist research in language and identity demonstrates how individuals exert agency to enact alternative identities, reshape power structures, and gain access to resources. However, this approach to agency carries immense risk for minoritized individuals, who must regularly negotiate their identities under systemic racism and linguistic…
