Educational Research and Reviews, v8 n14 p1144-1149 Jul 2013
The purpose of this case study is to analyze a Turkish Student Association's (TSA) extracurricular activities involving interfaith dialog with respect to their contributions to students' academic and social development in a predominantly white, Catholic, liberal arts college located in the Northeastern United States. The study aims to explain how such activities are important for students' academic and social development as well as the development of their perception of interfaith dialog. The study focuses on four major interfaith dialog activities organized by TSA: (1) lecture, (2) exhibition, (3) interfaith dialogue dinner and (4) educational local trip.
