My name is Lindsay Emery and I am a doctoral student in psychology here at UMBC.

I am currently recruiting interracial Black/White family members for my dissertation and I was wondering if I could perhaps ask for help to spread the word to students, staff and faculty at UMBC, particularly who are part of an interracial Black/White family in the area.

My dissertation is looking at how Black/White interracial families communicate together (parents and their biological children) on topics of race and identity. This project will involve me interviewing parents and their children (child has to be between the ages 13-17) who are part of a Black/White interracial family and live in the Baltimore area, to discuss the topic of race and identity. Families will participate in a total of 3 interviews (1-2 hours each) with me (1 parent interview, 1 child interview, and 1 family group interview) and will receive $60 cash compensation in total for their time and participation. 

Interested families should email me or call me if interested. All contact information for this project is included on the following two attached fliers (parent and child versions).

Again, to participate, participants must: 1.) be a parent in a Black/White interracial relationship and have a biological child (between the ages of 13-17) that can participate as well, who all live together, and 2.) live in the Baltimore area. 

Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
