<span>Biracial Fluidity: Identity Cues and Perceptions of Biracials</Span>

Friday, May 26, 2017 · Boston, MA

Social

The emergence of the biracial/multiracial population from 2000-2010 begs the question: how do people make judgments about this ambiguous racial group? Researchers in this symposium seek to answer that question using a biogenetic and psychosocial approach to biracial perception, examining the inferences people make about biracials from those perceptions.
