Conference
Author: Brieanne Elpert (Iowa State University)
This presentation will take a historical look at race and its misconceptions, and more specifically at how it has affected people of multi-ethnic ancestry. The session will provide an enlightened view of the issues relevant to multi-ethnic individuals.
Through an exploration of how the past has affected multi-ethnic individuals, we will examine the relationship between present societal views and multi-ethnic individuals; how society affects them now and how they continue to influence society. A review of the growing number of multi-ethnic individuals in America will be provided.
