Creating Welcoming and Supportive Campus Climates for Buddhist Students: Barriers and Opportunities
Sachi Edwards
New Directions for Higher Education, n206 p53-63 2024
There is scant available research and scholarly discourse related to the unique needs and experiences of Buddhist students in US higher education - even in the small but growing body of literature on religiously minoritized college students. In this chapter, I summarize what little research does exist on Buddhist students, and explain the broader historical, societal, and cultural factors that serve as important context for making sense of that research. Focus points include curriculum, institutional policy, and student affairs. In the end, I offer recommendations to faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals regarding what they can do to help create more welcoming and supportive campus climates for Buddhist students.
