We had a blast during our 3rd annual #LONESTAR gathering here @txst.edu. It was a generative & fun time discussing real world challenges and research-driven solutions for enhancing student learning and motivation, including a fun field trip to the glass-bottom boats 🐢⛴️. See you all next year!

For our belonging special issue, the next installment is a wonderful piece by @alexbrowman.bsky.social that digs into how #belonging is defined and what it means, centering social, self-concept, goal, and resource fit as core elements.

Check out his open-access paper here:

Another article in our special issue is out! In a GIANT study of over 15,000 students, 22 colleges, & ~400 local student identity groups, @katiekroe.bsky.social et al. “explore who gets to belong in college and what institutional leaders can do to expand these opportunities”

Hah! Indeed, meta-analysis has the potential to clarify spicy messes (reconcile discrepant findings) but it was mostly me referring to myself as a hot mess/spicy disaster!

The next article in our special issue is out! Lopez et al.
@falopeziglesias.bsky.social synthesized 22 studies and created a theoretical model for thinking about Latine youth, their ethnic-racial identity, school belonging, and asset-based pedagogy: doi.org/10.1007/s106...

The first article is a phenomenal review by Rebecca Covarrubias that discusses how belonging is not only psychological but also political, highlighting paradoxes of school belonging, “reimaging who can, wants, and gets to belong.” 🔥
