Spatiality
Spatiality in the context of marginalized demographics of students is critical in order to identify the barriers that students experience when on college campuses. In higher education literature, one approach to theorizing lived space is that of campus ecology (Banning, 1978, 2016; Renn & Reason, 2013)...situated in the broader field of human ecology, it investigates the dynamic relationships between college students and the varied spaces that constitute campus environments and conditions (Shalka, 2021). Students experience various complex situations and campus climates when pursuing a higher education such as social class, race, language, community member (faculty, staff, and students) interactions, and such.
