- Veronica Maldonado (Iowa State University)
Abstract
Attendees will participate in an interactive, motivational, and thought-provoking workshop about racial identity, which will help them gain a better understanding of the diversity, as well as the complexity, of the human race. By engaging participants in a discussion about the assumptions and perceptions of racial identity, the presenters will challenge the stereotype of the one-dimensional "American identity". What impact does it have on the multiracial student who is challenged to answer the question, " ... so, what are you"?
