Christian West

Research Associate

West, a Doctoral Candidate in the Higher Education program at the University of Virginia’s School of Education and Human Development, will be spearheading a research project related to diversity and inclusion in historically white fraternities and sororities. Christian’s research centers the contemporary experiences of Black students at institutions with historical legacies of slavery and segregation. He is a former fraternity/sorority professional serving as both a headquarters staff member and campus advisor. He is an alumnus and volunteer of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. He holds a M.Ed. and B.A., both from the University of Virginia.

West will serve as the lead researcher on a mixed-methods study related to diversity and inclusion in historically white fraternities and sororities.

Using qualitative analysis, the research team will juxtapose the experiences of members of color from those chapters in order to better understand the chapter-level variables that promote inclusion and satisfaction of non-white members.
