Universities often sponsor workshops about diversity and inclusion that students are mandated to attend. Yet, little is known about students' expectations and reactions to such workshops, as well as how such expectations and reactions are associated with students' gender identity, racial-ethnic identification, and race-related attitudes such as…

Research suggests support for harsher sanctions for wrongdoers increase in association with the perceived severity of the harm caused. To date, however, research has focused mostly on retributive modes of punishment and has less often addressed restorative sanctions. Furthermore, research has documented racial disparities in conduct sanctioning,…

Civic engagement is important for individual and collective development, and may serve as a means of collective agency for Black people. However, few studies have examined culture-specific factors that promote civic engagement among Black populations. In the current study, we use survey data to examine how racial identity dimensions (racial…

Latinx undergraduate student enrollment has dramatically increased over the past 20 years. However, this growing representation of Latinx students has not come with a parallel increase in the number of Latinx higher education administrators. This dearth in Latinx administrators is especially alarming because students who are able to build…

This article presents the White racial consciousness and faculty behavior (WRC/FB) model, which emerged from a constructivist grounded theory study I conducted. The WRC/FB model represents the inextricable link between racial consciousness and White faculty behaviors that either challenge or serve White interests and, consequently, White…

We present the motivations and meaning-making processes bolstering minoritized faculty's daily efforts to disrupt institutional forms of oppression and imagine more equitable institutions. Through critical in-depth phenomenological interviewing (CIPI), we profile the experiences of minoritized faculty (N = 6) within the professional discipline of…

While engagement has been identified as a key component to enhancing the academic outcomes of college students, less work has focused on specific predictors of engagement for Black college students attending predominately White postsecondary institutions (PWIs).

In today's climate of polarized racial tension and increasing resegregation in our nation's communities, it is vital to improve the level of education about race and to counter the racism that often exists when white people talk about or interact around race. Two approaches have been identified as helpful: white people learning about race and…

In this article, the authors explored the narrative of a single participant from a larger critical narrative study on identity-based activism, reconstructed as a letter addressed to campus administrators. Using critical race theory and intersectionality as theoretical frameworks, we analyzed Pete's conceptions of activism and offer implications…

Using a psychosociocultural framework, we examined 122 Indian American undergraduates' well-being, with an emphasis on cultural processes. The student sample was primarily first-generation to college with differences emerging by student standing for coping approaches, perception of barriers that would prompt withdrawal, congruity, and well-being.…

Student leadership and activism on college campuses has received more widespread attention in recent years, with attention to how student identities inform these organizing efforts. But, how students make sense of their leadership and activism practices is less understood, particularly in graduate student contexts and for different marginalized…

Using an ethnically diverse, national sample, this study used structural equation modeling to investigate the development of leadership self-efficacy (LSE) among 2,223 Asian American college students by focusing on the influences of racial identity (using the construct of collective racial esteem; CRE) and resilience. Results demonstrated a strong…

This qualitative, multiple case study explored the role of involvement in a particular university subculture, Latina/o sororities and fraternities, in how Latina/o college students develop and make meaning of their sense of belonging within predominantly White institutions. Findings address ways Latina/o college students described their…

Cyberbullying is pervasive on college campuses, but it is underdiscussed because the problem is denied by many students and usually invisible to school officials. This study examined how college students understand cyberbullying, their ethical reasoning about whether to help targeted peers, and their improvised helping strategies. In-depth…
