Bianca Gonzalez-Sobrino is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Quinnipiac University, USA. Her research examines ethnic competition and racial threat, particularly the dialectical relationship between identity and constructions of perceived threats; the processes of racial identity formation, particularly looking at Puerto Ricans; and the role of media in the construction and processes of racial and ethnic boundary making. Her work has appeared in various scholarly journals. Devon R. Goss is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Oxford College of Emory University, USA. Her research examines the color line, particularly in relation to instances of boundary crossing in typically racialized institutions; and the impact of racialization in family formation and processes, through an examination of transracial adoption. She has published in a variety of scholarly journals and is the co-author of Diversity in Black Greek-Letter Organizations: Breaking the Line (with Wendy Marie Laybourn, 2018).
