Abstract

This qualitative study explores college students' perceived shift to becoming more open to social identity-based difference. Using phenomenological methods, the study highlights the voices of three college students to illuminate findings that describe personal and institutional factors that support such a shift, the impact of the shift on individual students, and participants' descriptions of the shift as continuous and recursive. Implications for ways that policy, practice, and research can support a shift towards openness to diversity are discussed.
