Room: Hawaii Convention Center: Room 303B
Presentation Type: Oral Presentation
Research on race-focused intergroup dialogue (IGD) in college settings has largely found positive outcomes for participating students, providing evidence of their increased racial understanding. Building upon existing IGD research that demonstrates broad benefits for its participants, this study offers a more fine-grained analysis of the student experience. Much of the literature, in emphasizing these positive outcomes, has yet to fully map the varied costs involved, particularly the distinct emotional and pedagogical labor that students of color experience—a dynamic well-documented as a potential harm in other educational fields. Adopting an intersectional approach, this study therefore examines two key aspects of their experience: (a) the nature of their participation in race-related IGD, and (b) their resulting learning and conceptual shifts. To capture such dynamic and multifaceted phenomena, I used a case study approach with two participants, which allowed for a differentiated understanding of individual processes, rather than a more generalized understanding of "effects".
