Stability amidst student protests? Evaluating the strength of racially diverse social systems through Bronfenbrenner’s theoretical lens by WP Wahl, Kingsley Chinaza Nwosu

“…These protests allowed the institution to evaluate how interpersonal relations amongst diverse students in residences activated its prior support function in the face of a campus crisis. Although a considerable number of researchers have utilised Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory to analyse the influence of peer interaction on student success, various shortcomings have made it difficult to derive a good understanding of the destabilising effect of a campus crisis on the developmental ecology of university campuses – something this study aimed to address. …”
