Identity Affirmation and Conflict: Student Organizations and Involvement Experiences of Arab American College Students
Jinane Sounny-Slitine
Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship, v6 n2 p46-58 2024
Arab American college students must navigate the paradox of being hypervisible as well as invisible while in college. They are a unique and diverse group of students whose lived experiences and ways of belonging are underexplored. In this study of 12 Arab American college students, participants discussed how they understand their Arab American identity and how they belong at their institution, as well as how engagement in student organizations and other means of student involvement impacted their experience with sense of belonging. Participants' involvement both affirmed their Arab American identity while also potentially causing conflict at times.
