What's the Voice Project?

The Voice Project involves the seeking out of alternative "voices" within higher educations.  These "voices" are perspectives on the impact of gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and economic class and are used to explore the impacts of these factors on the development of students during their college years.  The exercise chronicled in this blog is to view the development of a fictional character, a 20-year-old Caucasian male who has recently converted to Islam in light of different student development theories as well as my own preconceived ideas.  In the end, this blog is a thought experiment, a way for me to expand my awareness of student development through the eyes of someone with different values and aspirations.

For other perspectives on the Voice Project as well as a little more background check out this blog.
