Paul R. Spickard (born 1950) is an American historian and the author of several books on the subject of race and ethnicity, particularly multiracialism.[1][2] His work was formative in rearticulating and moving beyond a black-white paradigm of race and mixed-race relations in the U.S.[3]
Spickard grew up in a working class and Black neighborhood in Seattle.[4] He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley and his undergraduate degree from Harvard University.[5] He served as the Director of Research at the Institute for Polynesian Studies in Honolulu[2] as well as Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at BYU-Hawaii.[5] In 2013, Spickard was named a Distinguished Lecturer by the Organization of American Historians.[6] In 2011, Spickard co-founded the Journal for Critical Mixed Race Studies.[7] He currently teaches as a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara,[1] where he is also an affiliate faculty in Asian American Studies and Religious Studies.[8]
