Negotiating the salientization of identity: Hindu? Indian? American?

Fri, April 25, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3D

Abstract

This chapter starts by briefly decluttering how religion is defined through western theistic attributes, then explores students’ Hindu experiences while centering a counter socio-religio-cultural narrative of lived religion. I look into systemic institutional misalignments stemming from white Christian supremacy and lastly, aspects of student leadership on campuses. The chapter closes with critical reflections on scholar-practitioner essays that address campus dynamics and my recommendations therefrom.
