- Summary:
- This book presents a two-year ethnographic study of a collegiate evangelical student organization at a public university.
- The narratives and interpretations aim not only to enrich understanding of a particular student organization but, more importantly, to spark intellectual discourse about the value of faith-based organizations within public higher education. The role of religion in public higher education, student involvement in the co-curriculum, and peer education are three examples of critical issues in higher education for which this idiosyncratic case study offers broad understanding.
- Because the authors lay bare their methodology, their use of theory, and the tensions between their perspectives and those of the participants, this book will also serve as a compelling case study for courses on qualitative research within the fields of religion, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
