Utilising the methodology of portraiture this study set out to explore interactions of diverse students in a South African university residence. The purpose of the study was to understand how students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds interpret their own experiences as they had to share their personal space with people who had previously been seen as the outgroup. The study was qualitative in nature and used a case study research design. Datagathering techniques included semistructured interviews, observations, field notes and researcher?s journal. Critical race theory and contact theory were the theoretical frameworks of this study. Data was analysed by means of content analysis. Findings of this study were fivefold: first, institutional practice plays an important role in facilitating contact between diverse students. Second, an environment that promotes social interaction is important in reducing stereotypes and prejudices. Third, continuous communication between diverse students minimised misunderstandings and promoted understanding and sympathy. Fourth, the participants did not attribute the challenges they experienced in their unit to racial or cultural differences. Fifth, participants did not segregate themselves exclusively from racial others. However, evidence reveals lack of interaction between some of the black female students. tm2016 Humanities Education MEd Unrestricted 2016-10-27T07:28:33Z 2016-10-27T07:28:33Z 2014-04-12 2013 Dissertation Mohale, MA 2013, Interactions of diverse students in a South African university residence : the case of Tuks Village, MEd Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/57494> S2016 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/57494 en © 2016 University of Pretoria.
