Abstract

Racial intolerance and violence in the United States, and on college campuses specifically, has created a dire need for universities to bridge gaps between students of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Campus recreation programs offer promising environments for students from diverse identities to engage with each other and learn about peers, while increasing their openness to diversity. Despite this potential, little is known about how students engage with diversity in recreation contexts. This phenomenological study uncovered the experiences of students attending diversity-focused outdoor adventure trips and examined the facets of this recreation environment that contributed to engagement with diverse peers. Campus recreation administrators can use these findings to consider parallel experiences throughout recreation programs that can bring students from diverse backgrounds together.
探索户外娱乐活动对大学生多元化体验的促进作用
在美国,特别是在大学校园里,种族不容忍和暴力使得大学迫切需要弥合不同背景和信仰的学生之间的差距。校园娱乐项目为来自不同身份的学生提供了有希望的环境,让他们相互交流,了解同龄人,同时提高他们对多样性的开放程度。尽管有这种潜力,但人们对学生如何在娱乐环境中融入多样性知之甚少。这项现象学研究揭示了学生参加以多样性为中心的户外探险旅行的经历,并检查了这种娱乐环境的各个方面,这些方面有助于与不同的同龄人接触。校园娱乐管理人员可以利用这些发现来考虑整个娱乐项目的平行体验,这些项目可以将来自不同背景的学生聚集在一起。
