Are you in an Asian-White marriage / life partnership or know someone who is?

 

 

     

 

Hi, my name is Louise Ly. I’m a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. I’m working on a book about the lives of intermarried or life partnered Asian Americans (including of multi-racial descent) and White Americans.

I am currently seeking volunteers across groups and am in particular need of White and South Asian (including Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Napali, Sri Lankan, and others of South Asian decent)!
