Abstract
This longitudinal, qualitative study explores the experiences of Hispanic/Latinx graduate students who pass as White. Using Ortega’s (2016) theory of multiplicitous selfhood, the sense of not belonging as Hispanic/Latinx nor White and the struggle to negotiate multiple identities is explored in the context of higher education.
