This book centers the narratives and lived experiences of multiple multiracial identities. Dr. Johnston-Guerrero’s nominator shared just how important a book like this is to higher education and student affairs:
This project illustrates what it means to be innovative regarding multiracial research. This project not only illuminates out-of-the-box, but it deconstructs the box and creates a place where multiracial folx in higher education can feel heard, seen, and validated in the literature.
Multiracial Experiences in Higher Education is just one of many ways that Dr. Johnston-Guerrero has impacted higher education and student affairs. We express our sincerest gratitude for the work you have done and will continue to do. Without your contributions, our field would not be the same!
