Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the last 20 years, we have witnessed an explosion in scholarship and popular media accounts about the experience of `mixed race' identity. Despite the increasing numbers of people who now identify as `mixed race', relatively little research has been conducted on how `mixed race' individuals consider this particular label of identity. Through qualitative, open-ended interviews with self-identified women of `mixed race' living in Toronto, this article interrogates attachments to the identification of `mixed race'. The article begins by examining the popular discourse surrounding `mixed race' identity, suggesting that the public imaginary positions the `mixed race' woman as `out of place' in the social landscape. It then explores how many women create cartographies of belonging by identifying as `mixed race', reading the label as a `linguistic home'. It can provide a way to identify outside of constraining racialized categories of identity. The article also points out that many of the same women in this study effectively challenge, contest and discard the identification, dependent on a myriad of factors.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
