La Familia: Faith, Identity, and Politics in a Latino Bible Study
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v23 n3 p140-154 2024
This ethnographic case study utilizes intersectionality and sense of belonging to understand students' experiences in a Latino Bible study and how it contributes to their overall college experience. The findings suggest that the Bible study offers a unique space for students to explore faith, ethnic identity, and politics in a culturally appropriate format that helps them feel like family. This study helps demonstrate the value and role of student groups in students' college experience.
