Belonging On Campus: Code-Switching and College Life
Students from marginalized backgrounds face heightened burnout from code-switching to fit into underrepresented academic, professional, and social spaces. This survival strategy, requiring adjustments in speech, appearance, and behavior, undermines their sense of belonging, lowers campus engagement and academic performance, and increases mental health challenges and substance abuse, leading some to consider transferring or dropping out due to belonging concerns.
In Belonging on Campus: Code-Switching and College Life, George Paasewe expands on his 2015 IRB research on code-switching, which contributed to the scientific literature by discovering how code-switching is learned while illuminating the complex challenges that students face in their pursuit of belonging and succeeding.
