30855 - What’s race got to do with it? Race and Intimate Relationships

Sun, August 10, 2:00 to 3:30pm, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, Gold Coast

Description

Race continues to powerfully shape romance, from impacting selection, quality of relationships, to the wellbeing. It both structures our identity and how we are perceived by others, and its role is heavily linked to other dimensions of identity like gender and sexual identity. Papers in this session explore the many ways race shapes relationship formation and experiences. These works examine how race has an enduring influence on who we pick to partner with, if we partner, and how we feel about our relationships. These work draw from a range of methods and theoretical frameworks to explore what race means and why it matters to romantic partnerships.
