Higher
Education,
was
submitted
for
ELPS

Multiculturalism
for
Social
Justice.
This
was
co-authored
with
Jonathan
Merrill.
We
also
facilitated
a
class
dialogue
discussion
around
topic.
I
believe
that
this
piece
demonstrates
my
commitment
to
social
justice
as
it
pertains
to
my
work
in
higher
education.
One
of
the
key
aspects
of
this
paper
is
a
comprehensive
review
of
the
historical
and
contemporary
literature
surrounding
multiracial
students
at
institutions
of
higher
education.
Through
talking
with
professionals
on
campus
and
completing
the
review
of
the
literature
I
more
fully
understand
the
context
in
which
I
am
working.
White
person.
In
a
section
of
the
paper,
I
explore
how
my
identities
connect
to
the
topic
of
multiracial
students
on
campus.
As
a
white
woman,
I
was
appreciated
the
opportunity
to
explore
and
learn
more
about
how
multiracial
students
experience
campus.
In
this
paper,
I
write
about
how
my
dominant
and
subordinate
identities
connect
to
the
experiences
of
others.
In
writing
about
my
connection
to
the
topic,
I
realized
the
benefits
I
have
not
only
of
being
white,
but
also
having
an
identity
that
is
easily
defined.
Throughout
the
scholarly
portion
of
this
paper
as
well
as
my
own
personal
reflection,
I
demonstrate
my
personal
and
professional
commitment
to
social
justice
and
serving
others.
As alluded to earlier, this paper was the catalyst for my exploration of my racial
identity
throughout
the
duration
of
the
program.
I
have
since
had
many
conversations
with
peers
whom
with
I
share
similar
and
dissimilar
identities.
Reflecting
on
this
paper
now
shows
me
how
much
I
have
grown
in
my
understanding
of
social
justice
issues
on
and
off
campus.
