Abstract
The purpose of this research is to observe the racial dynamics of campus dining halls. We test Bonilla-Silva’s tri-racial stratification system within the bounds of campus dining halls. We observed multiple mealtimes at four dining halls over a period of three months. We discovered that dining halls are informally racially segregated, with whites being the most segregated. Dinner seemed to be the least segregated meal of the day at the university in which the research was conducted.
