Getting lost at the crossing? Tips for Assessing intersectional experiences

Abstract

Faculty and administrators are often tasked with educating the whole student upon arrival at college, so it is important to understand ways to assess the whole student. This session will discuss factors to consider when quantitatively examining intersecting aspects of students’ identities, student characteristics, and collegiate endeavors. Case studies will provide examples of challenges and strategies for better understanding ways to assess and better understand the experiences of students with intersecting identities. Attendees will discuss their own challenges and solutions for intersectional analyses and leave with tangible takeaways for their work.
