Researchers have identified three aspects of diversity(Strayhorn et al. 2020) to facilitate understanding of the topic: (a) structural, (b) interactional,and (c) classroom. Structural diversity refers to the demographic representation of students fromdifferent backgrounds. Interactional diversity refers to the frequency and quality of interactionswith diverse peers across numerous campus domains including, but not limited to, campus eventsand residence halls. Classroom diversity refers specifically to learning about diverse peers thatoccurs in formal instructional settings like classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories.
