Heather Thomson-Bunn

Abstract

Drawing from surveys and interviews with Christian students at a large public university, this essay articulates how understanding these students' perspectives can help instructors identify strategies for responding to religious discourses in the classroom and equip them to help students capitalize on the rhetorical possibilities of these discourses.
