Chandra D. L. Waring

CHANDRA D. L. WARING is an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Her research focuses on the growing multiracial population. Her work decenters the shortsighted, yet convenient narrative that the increasing multiracial population is evidence of a less racially contentious and more racially harmonious society. Her interest in race stems from being raised in a multiracial family in a three very different contexts: Germany, Georgia, and Connecticut. Her work has been published in Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, Sociological Perspectives, Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race, Social Identities, Feminist Teacher, Race, Gender & Class and Sociological Imagination. Waring earned her PhD in sociology from the University of Connecticut, where she was a Multicultural Fellow.
