Welcome to Cross Racially Raised – the website dedicated to my research on individuals of the African Diaspora who were raised in transracial and multiracial families.
Here you can learn about me, the research project, and participate in the study. I will post research updates as they are available. I also encourage you to check out my links to other sites related to these issues.
Thanks and enjoy!

Study Exploring the Educational Experiences of Multiracial Black People Raised in White and Interracial Families
Greetings! I am recruiting Multiracial adults (18 to 35 years old) of African or African American descent who were raised by white or interracial parents/guardians (by birth or adoption) to participate in an interview study about experiences with racism in academic settings and parent/guardian approaches to addressing race and racism.
All participants will participate in one interview lasting approximately 90-120 minutes; some participants may be asked to participate in follow up interviews. Participants will be asked questions about family background, experiences with racism, parents/guardians’ views on race and racism, and strategies for coping with racism.
I am a PhD student in the School of Education at UC Berkeley. My personal experiences, as well as learning about the experiences of others who grew up in similar situations, has led me to pursue this topic as my doctoral research. By sharing your voice and experiences, you can help raise critical awareness about the complexity of family dynamics and support efforts to improve the lives of future African/African American descent individuals who grow up in similar contexts.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this study, please contact me at snyderc@berkeley.edu
