Based on two autoethnographic moments of inclusion/exclusion, in this article I set out the struggle to make sense of my own whiteness through the experience of being mixed race in the context of the neoliberal Dutch academy. In order to understand the indeterminate position of mixed race – white in some cases and disrupting whiteness in others – the two moments need to be read together. Interpersonal relations illustrate how race, gender, and precarious working conditions interrelate, sometimes in bringing people together, while at other times setting them against one another. My main argument is that mixed-race positionalities are to be understood as context-contingent and hybrid. These indeterminate and hybrid positionalities call for conciliation and offer new possibilities to think beyond strict dichotomies and divisive boundaries.
