Abstract
ABSTRACTBased on twenty in-depth interviews with Catholic college students, this article investigates religious identity for emerging adults at a public university in the United States. Using sociological ambivalence as an analytical tool, I demonstrate how the expectations of collegiate emerging adulthood can shape students' expressions of religious identity. The students manage their expressions in strategic ways in order to craft particular kinds of identities as college students and religious people, and to situate themselves as either those who fit in or those who go against the norm.
