Critical Mixed-Race Theory: Analyzing the Identities of South Asian to Canadian Immigration on Mixed-Race Women — Research Proposal

Throughout the Summer of 2026, I will be researching how identity politics, language and verbiage, and gender all affect the biracial identity. With particular focus on biracial South Asian-Canadians, this study seeks to suggest an alternative form of classification for biracial people!

Hiya! My name is Faith Marion Kalia, but you can call me Mae!

I am a third-year student at the University of Toronto double-majoring in Philosophy and Diaspora & Transnational Studies with a minor in Creative Writing! 

For my research, I will be studying how the biracial South Asian identity is impacted by language, gender, and identity politics. It is my highest hopes that this research is able to suggest an alternative identification for biracial people that does not threaten the wholeness of their being!

When I'm not researching, you may find me cafe hopping, reading critical theory, or dilly dallying in the park with friends! I am open to further discussing my research and/or extracurricular hobbies, if interested — feel free to contact me via social media or email!
