Abstract	The academic study of "race" varies from discipline to discipline. "Race" is placed in quotes in this instance because historically race was considered a biological category that denoted unalterable biological characteristics between races. There is a long intellectual history of documenting phenotypic differences between "races" and a quest for developing a taxonomy based on secondary biological differences like skin color, hair texture, head size, and phenotype. Race is now considered a social construction grounded in history, social relations, and imposed ideologies. However, there is still much debate about how to best study race and its consequences. In this article, I explore the approaches used to study race in three academic disciplines: Social Psychology, Feminist Studies, and Chicana and Chicano Studies. I place a special emphasis on Social Psychology in accordance with my graduate training and the intellectual orientation present in my work. My approach aligns with that of other scholars who have moved from defining race as a personal characteristic to the relational process of "racialization", which is constructed through social interaction as well as structurally through institutions, law, and government. The term I offer to "intersectional racialization" to capture the complexities of situational and structural dynamics. (As Provided).
