Toward Beloved Communities on Campus: Understanding the Intersections of Race, Gender, and Sexual Identity

Using data from Rankin Climate’s database with over 200 colleges and universities, we examined sense of belonging and whether respondents contemplated leaving their institution for different racial, gender and sexual identity groups and their intersections. This study aligns with other intersectionality research that examines the crossroads of different identity markers, resulting in forms of experience and oppression unique to particular standpoints.
