Intersectionality and the Emerging Majority Student: Negotiating Identity in the Liminalities of the University Environment
Goode, Jayne R.; Radovic-Fanta, Jelena; Bose, Sayoni
Communication Education, v71 n1 p21-39 2022
Students at the intersection of social, political, and economic struggles must often forge new paths to make college entrance possible, even as dominant social narratives predict their failure. Faculty and administration endeavor to engage this emerging majority population and devote valuable time and resources to support structures meant to foster belonging and a sense of community. This article provides insight into the liminality of the university environment for this population and the communicative processes of college student identity development. Analysis reveals identity construction processes through the liminal practices of experimentation, reflection, and recognition are successful and complex, as students discursively position themselves as college students. Implications for intersectional research and liminality as space for possibility are discussed.
