Exploring Living-Learning Communities as a Venue for Men's Identity Construction
Jessup-Anger, Jody E.; Johnson, Brianne N.; Wawrzynski, Matthew R.
Journal of College and University Student Housing, v39 n1 p162-175 2012
This qualitative study explored how male undergraduate students experienced living-learning community environments. Findings revealed that living-learning communities provided men a "safe haven" from rigid gender role expectations, offered a plethora of involvement opportunities, and fostered relationships with faculty and peers. The findings highlight the potential of living-learning communities to provide men with the support they need to reject rigid gender expectations and develop a healthy identity. Recommendations for practice are discussed. (Contains 1 table.)
