Zuniga, Ximena; Williams, Elizabeth A.; Berger, Joseph B.
Journal of College Student Development, v46 n6 p660-678 Nov-Dec 2005
This study examines whether college students' participation in diversity-related experiences instills motivation to take actions for a diverse democracy. Results suggest that interactions with diverse peers, participation in diversity-related courses, and activities inside and outside residence halls inspire students to challenge their own prejudices and promote inclusion and social justice.
