Semi-Structured Interviews

Schedule Your Interview

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Afro-Caribbean Student Stories interview series. This is a key part of the study exploring how Afro-Caribbean students experience and navigate antiblackness and belonging in higher education.

  • What to Expect. The interview is a one-on-one, confidential conversation (via Zoom or in person) that lasts about 60–90 minutes. It is semi-structured, meaning you’ll be asked open-ended questions about your background, college experience, identity, and any challenges or moments of support you’ve encountered, and in two phases.  

  • You are welcome to share as much or as little as you’d like—you can skip any question or pause at any time. Our approach is trauma-informed and affirming: you are the expert on your own experience, and your voice matters deeply.

  • Who Can Participate. Those who: 

    • Identify as Afro-Caribbean (including U.S.-born, foreign-born, first-gen, multiracial, etc.)

    • Are currently enrolled in a U.S. college or university (undergraduate or graduate)

Interview Format Options:

  • Zoom (video or audio only)

  • In-person (if geographically feasible)

  • Phone (by request)
