Abstract

In this session Matthew will discuss some of the experiences which people from Mixed-Race backgrounds encounter as well as the connection with their physical health, mental health, and overall wellbeing. The session will also include discussion around the binary based othering which can take place, code-switching strategies, fetishization and microaggressions. He will then move on to discuss the importance of recognition to support colleagues and students who may be from mixed-race backgrounds considering both research and personal experience to support this discussion.
