Abstract

Residence halls are consequential spaces for many college students and purport to offer comfort, community, and home while facilitating meaningful learning opportunities, including interaction across difference. This qualitative case study uses theories of white space to examine campus housing at three historically white universities. Findings juxtapose staff’s and administrators’ relatively harmonious and idyllic beliefs about community with Students of Color’s experiences in campus residence halls. Across campuses, Students of Color’s sense of comfort and belonging in residence halls was ruptured by racist expression, speech, and an overwhelming presence of white people. Findings illuminate how residence halls often functioned as white spaces, where white students were disproportionately entitled to comfort, safety, and belonging. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

种族、白人与校园住宿学生生活:以三所大学为例
对许多大学生来说,宿舍是重要的空间,旨在提供舒适、社区和家,同时促进有意义的学习机会,包括跨差异的互动。这个定性案例研究使用白色空间理论来研究三所历史上的白人大学的校园住房。研究结果将教职员工和管理人员相对和谐和田园诗般的社区信念与有色人种学生在校园宿舍的经历并置。在整个校园里,有色人种学生在宿舍里的舒适感和归属感被种族主义的表达、言论和压倒性的白人所破坏。研究结果阐明了宿舍通常是如何成为白人空间的,在那里白人学生不成比例地享有舒适、安全和归属感。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
