The concept of belonging has been increasingly understood as the missing piece in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in higher education. This book explores the need to recognize and account for institutional-level factors that shape academic belonging, thereby improving student experience and outcomes.Though recent scholarship has identified several factors that are associated with student belonging in academics, there is little research that addresses what faculty can do in concrete terms to promote belonging, particularly in the domains where they have the most influence. The 12 chapters in this volume introduce readers to an array of collaborative, cutting-edge efforts to develop pedagogies, programs, strategies, and environments that help students develop academic belonging; that is, a sense of connection, competence, and confidence in academic domains.This book is written for higher education faculty, administrators, and researchers who wish to enhance their studentsÂ’ sense of academic belonging by taking informed, practical measures to make them feel valued and supported.

A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ?stupid? events, festivals and parades. Building a community is perceived to be an important and necessary act to enable resilience against the perceived threats of neoliberal socio-economic life such as isolation, selfishness and loss of community. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain{::}** explores how authoritative knowledge is developed, maintained and deployed by this group as they encounter other ?social projects?, such as the local council planning committee or academic projects researching participation in urban planning.The activists, who call themselves the ?Seething Villagers?, model their community activity on the mythical ancient village of Seething where moral tales of how to work together, love others and be a community are laid out in the Seething Tales. These tales include Seething ?facts? such as the fact that the ancient Mountain of Seething was destroyed by a giant.

In an age of social isolation, what does it mean to belong? “In this timely, warm, and persuasive book, [Kim Samuel] shares stories and solutions for reclaiming common purpose and authentic connection. On Belonging is essential reading for anyone who wants to imagine and build a more inclusive future.”—Timothy Shriver, chairman of Special Olympics Humanity is at an inflection point.

To be like everyone else and to be unique: these conflicting forces to both assimilate and to stand out have operated within us since childhood. They are impulses that exist in each of us, reflective of our human nature. Everyone is born with a unique fingerprint. We possess external and internal qualities that make each of us unique and special. At the same time, humans are social animals, with a biological and evolutionary tendency to belong to groups. We live with perpetual tension, striving to establish our uniqueness at the same time as trying to fit in. This important and timely book explores how balance can be achieved and the importance of such balance at every level of humanity–from the personal to the organizational to the global. Individuals, communities, organizations and societies who manage this tension in an effective and conscious way will  benefit and experience both the pleasures of belonging and the personal expression of each of the individuals. Moreover, the balance between belonging and personal expression is the key to sustainability and prosperity–a phenomenon that this book describes as Unique Belonging.
