Mixed ethnicity people (i.e. people whose parents/ancestorsare from different ethnic backgrounds) have been a fastgrowing demographic in the UK in recent years (highlighted bythe 2001 and 2011 censuses). Due to continuous mediaattention, with many public figures advocating for increasedrecognition of mixed ethnicity as a distinct group, there is apressing need for research into their diverse experiences andidentification (Aspinall and Song, 2013). This PhD project willexamine how individuals of mixed Black/White and Asian/Whiteethnicity come to understand their ethnicity inconsuming/engaging with the arts (here specifically, reactionsto art exhibitions exploring mixed identity such as The Renoexhibition at The Whitworth, as well as explorations of mixedidentity in 21st century literature such as Chandra Prasad'sMixed: An Anthology of Short Fiction on the MultiracialExperience and Patrice Lawrence's Orangeboy). In examiningthis it aims to produce new knowledge of the culturalhistory/memory and processes behind the formation ofcontemporary mixed ethnic identity. Through critical discourseanalysis and focus groups, this research will examine theexperiences of the arts surrounding mixed ethnicity individualsin contemporary British society, and where they then positionthemselves between competing discourses of identity.

近年来，混合种族的人（即父母/祖先来自不同种族背景的人）在英国一直是一个快速增长的人口（2001年和2011年人口普查突出显示）。由于媒体的持续关注，许多公众人物主张增加对混合种族作为一个独特群体的认识，迫切需要研究他们的不同经历和身份（Aspinall和Song，2013）。这个博士项目将探讨黑人/白色和亚裔/白人混合种族的个体如何理解他们的种族在消费/参与艺术（这里特别是对探索混合身份的艺术展览的反应，如惠特沃思的雷诺展览，以及对21世纪世纪文学中混合身份的探索，如钱德拉·普拉萨德的《混合：多种族经历短篇小说选集和帕特里斯·劳伦斯的《橘子男孩》）。在审查这一点，它的目的是产生新的知识的文化历史/记忆和过程背后的形成当代混合种族身份.通过批判性话语分析和焦点小组，本研究将研究当代英国社会中围绕混合种族个体的艺术经验，以及他们在身份竞争话语中的定位。
