Ethnoracial Identity in College

Captions available

The idea

First-generation Black college women at predominantly White institutions described heightened salience of their identity, code-switching between campus and home, and microaggressions.

In practice

A student staying on alert in class, a hypervigilance that participants described as costly.

Where people slip

The study was qualitative, drawing on interviews; its findings describe experiences rather than rates.
