Abstract

This study examines interview data from 52 Muslim college students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the United States. Conceptually grounded in the Minoritized Religious and Spiritual Campus Climate (MRSCC) model, we analyze the racialized experiences of Muslim students attending HBCUs. The findings of this study indicate that Muslim students are subject to structural racism and monolithic categorization in the classroom, as well as in social/peer settings.
