| Abstract: | Despite renewed efforts to engage religious diversity in higher education over the last two decades, interfaith engagement remains a relatively fringe interest on many campuses. The reason could be that these renewed interfaith efforts are running up against a powerful current of White religiosity that maintains a historical legacy of privilege in much of American higher education. For interfaith engagement to become a norm in American higher education, historical systems and structures that privilege White religiosity must be exposed, dismantled, and replaced with new systems and structures that are developed in solidarity with People of Color. |
