Biosketch

Chandra D. L. Waring, PhD, is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and the president of the Critical Mixed Race Studies Association (CMRSA). Her research explores how institutions (i.e., family), inequality (i.e., monoracism) and privilege (i.e., white privilege by proxy) shape multiracial America. As a conceptual sociologist and autoethnographer, Waring’s scholarship pushes the epistemological and methodological boundaries of traditional research. Her work has been published in "Sociology of Race and Ethnicity," "Ethnic and Racial Studies," "Sociology Compass," "Whiteness and Education," "Sociological Perspectives," "DuBois Review: Social Science Research on Race," among other peer-reviewed journals. Previously, she was an associate professor of sociology and race & ethnic studies at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where she was a Wisconsin Teaching Fellow and the faculty advisor for mXd, a multiracial student organization.
