ABSTRACT Given that religion is an understudied yet important topic, this exploratory research investigates how millennial Christians negotiate their intersecting cultural identities on college campuses. Specifically, this research took place on a Hispanic-serving, four-year public university in the Southwestern United States. The research team analyzed interview transcripts with student leaders and members of religious organizations. Following analytical steps of thematic analysis, we interrogated three themes: becoming Christian Others on a “liberal” college campus; avowing and ascribed as raced/sexualized/immigrant Christian “outsiders within;” and negotiating contradictions in avowing a faithful college life. The authors conclude by discussing implications for inter-belief communication.

当宗教遇到学术界时：千禧一代基督徒在美国的少数派校园里成为文化上的他人

摘要鉴于宗教是一个尚未被研究但仍很重要的话题，这项探索性研究旨在调查千禧一代基督徒如何在大学校园中协商其相交的文化身份。具体而言，这项研究是在美国西南部一所为西班牙裔服务的四年制公立大学进行的。研究小组分析了学生领袖和宗教组织成员的访谈记录。按照主题分析的分析步骤，我们询问了三个主题：在“自由”大学校园里成为“基督徒其他”；宣称并归类为种族/性/移民基督徒“内部的局外人”；谈判矛盾，以实现忠实的大学生活。作者的结论是讨论信仰间交流的含义。
