  • Share general demographic information.
  • Participate in two, 60-minute interviews focused on your lived experience during the presidential campaign and election of Donald Trump.
  • Allow our interviews to be audio recorded.
  • At the second interview, provide two separate photographs:
    • One meant to represent your understanding of your racial identity development before the presidential campaign and election of Donald Trump.
    • One meant to represent your understanding of your racial identity development after the presidential campaign and election of Donald Trump.
