I will be writing about multicultural identity development for people who identify as multiracial and grew up in predominantly white communities. This topic is important because multiracial identity development is the least researched identity development topic within the fields of psychology and student development. There is even less research about multicultural identity development within predominantly white communities in the United States. As the United States and global community become more racially diverse and inter-mixed, research on multicultural identity development will become more important.
