Abstract: Using data from the Interfaith Diversity Experiences and Attitudes Longitudinal Survey, this study explored whether pathways to pluralism orientation among college students differed by their gender identities. Our sample consisted of 5,762 participants from 118 campuses of different types (public, private nonsectarian, and religious). Our conceptual model, based on the Interfaith Learning and Development Model (Mayhew & Rockenbach, 2021) and guided by queer (Abes & Kasch, 2007; Sullivan, 2003; Wilchins, 2004) and intersectionality (Collins, 2019; Crenshaw, 1989, 1991; Singh, 2015) theories, underscored the importance of students' multiple identities; institutional, disciplinary, and relational contexts; and interfaith engagement opportunities in college students' pluralistic outcomes. Our multilevel models demonstrated that some experiences in college shape pluralism development in ways that differ by gender identity. We discuss research, policy, and practice implications to serve students' unique needs and support their pluralism development.
