"I'm Trying to Prove My Identity through Dance": Multiracial Undergraduate Dancers at a Predominantly White Institution
Jacob P. Wong-Campbell
Journal of College Student Development, v66 n1 p50-65 2025
Grounded in Critical Multiracial Theory and notions of performativity, this study utilized Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to examine 12 multiracial undergraduates' embodied experiences of monoracism within dance-based contexts at a predominantly White institution. Interviewees described the relative diversity of dance spaces, internalized monoracist messages about their bodies, and developed embodied agency to navigate monoracism in college.
