The Loving Project


The Loving Project, named after the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case that ended the ban on interracial marriages, is a study capturing the experiences of Multiracial college students. The original Loving Collaborative research team includes Dr. Keita Christophe, Dr. Christine Wu, Abigail Gabriel, Clarissa Abidog, Dr. Gaby Stein, Dr. Rich Lee, and Dr. Brandon Yoo. Dr. Chelsea Derlan Williams is also a new collaborator working with the team to analyze and publish the data.

Dr. Atkin has been involved in three of the papers produced from this project so far (see below), but we are working on many more to come!
