October 28, 2024
Melcherts is a Surinamese Dutch sociologist, former track and field student-athlete and currently a PhD candidate at Mississippi State University. She teaches Intro to Sociology and Intro to Race and Ethnicity, and is a member of the Race and Racism Research Working Group. Melcherts’ research focuses on social inequalities at the intersections of race, ethnicity and gender, and how they influence people’s sense of self. She seeks to understand identity formation in the larger context of such processes as racism and colorism by centering the lived experiences of Black Surinamese Dutch people.
