Living on the Borders of Religious Intersections: Being Centered within One's Dissonance
Journal of College and Character, v22 n4 p307-324 2021
This study explored how individuals spoke about the dissonance they experienced due to their own intersections of identity within religious and/or spiritual spaces in their communities and on college campuses. In addition, we as researchers sought to understand how discourse may or may not have challenged the idea of dissonance as a negative transitional state of being within the boundaries of current definitions of religious and spiritual spaces.
