Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2003.

This dissertation is a qualitative examination of how black-and-white biracial students navigate their racialized selves among peer networks and campus organizations at Southeastern University, a predominantly white university located in metropolitan North Carolina. Using a symbolic interactionist perspective, this inductive analysis is based on twenty-two in-depth, retrospective interviews with female and male, undergraduate and graduate students. Biracial students claimed either a singular black identity or a border identity, and employed blackness-embracing and border-crossing strategies to convey their racial identities. Female biracial students at Southeastern University were much more likely to employ different types of strategies to communicate their racial identities, because their identity claims were less likely to be validated---especially within black communities and by black women in particular. Male biracial students, on the other hand, generally did not have to rely on these strategies to assert their identities or have them validated. While biracial students have some agency in defining themselves as black or biracial, they remain constrained by the cultural boundaries defined by others and their social environments. Methodological challenges and theoretical issues inherent to studying a biracial population are discussed, as are limitations of this project and implications for future research.
