In the fourth episode of this season's On Being Biracial podcast, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley dive into the intersections of both school and the workplace and mixed-race identity. How do those spaces change the ways we understand and express ourselves, for better and for worse?

In this episode, you will learn:

• 
  

  How the education system reinforces racial segregation and white supremacy, and how that legacy has a particular impact on multiracial students.

  
  


• 
  

  Why the harm of erasing access to an ancestral language can be a violent experience for multiracial people.

  
  


• 
  

  How multiracial kids learn differently than monoracial youth, according to research from social scientists.

  
  


• 
  

  How school, from kindergarten to college, can be a space for claiming racial identities but also for experiencing alienation from racial peers.
