Magick Circles in Ivy: A Phenomenological Content Analysis of Pagan College Student Organizations
Journal of College and Character, v24 n4 p357-374 2023
This study examines documents from 23 Pagan college student organizations recognized at universities across the United States. These documents were analyzed for information they contained about the explicit missions and purposes for Pagan college student clubs, and how those articulations align with in-group or out-group foci in accordance with social identity theory (SIT) and social categorization theory (SCT). Findings indicate an overall slight emphasis toward in-group mission foci, and the strong influence of anti-Pagan social stigma throughout the documents.
