Pietro A. Sasso; Kim E. Bullington; Lindsy Perry
Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship, v5 n3 p9-23 2023
This qualitative intersectional narrative inquiry examined how Multiracial college students find sense of belongingin student organizations by negotiating multiple racial identities and locations in traditionally monoracial spaces.Multiracial students sought membership in organizations because they felt invisible at their institutions. To findbelonging within student communities, they engaged in a difficult process of placemaking in which they experiencedmonoracism and other racialized microaggressions within student organizations. In time, they developed a sense ofbelonging by curating a small cohort of friends connected through their organizational involvement. These findingsreveal implications that further inform approaches for student involvement professionals and others who work withMultiracial students to increase their support and engagement across involvement contexts.
