12: Victoria Malaney & Multi-Racial Identity Development

This week, I feature a very good friend of mine who is doing great research and work in the field of multi-racial identity development! Victoria Malaney is a doctoral student at UMass Amherst, where she is pursuing a doctorate in Higher Education Administration. We were cohort mates during graduate school at UMass Amherst, so we have spent plenty of time discussing a myriad of topics over the last few years. We also get into Victoria's work in the Dean of Students Office at UMass Amherst, as well as the work she does with Intergroup Dialogue - work that started in her undergraduate experience at Skidmore College. It was great to have another with her on this episode! of the podcast! I hope you enjoy the chat.
