Understanding College Students' Spiritual Identities: Different Faiths, Varied Worldviews
Stewart, Dafina Lazarus
Journal of College and Character, v13 n3 Aug 2012
This critical essay reviews Small's (2011) book reporting research on the spiritual identities and discursive practices of college students in intrafaith and interfaith dialogue. Small's recommendations and research methods are instructive and helpful to both scholars and practitioners in higher education and student affairs. This research opens new pathways for discussing faith diversity in higher education in ways that recognize issues of marginalization and supports true pluralism.
