The Bogan Academic reviewed our Gentle Academic book and the title of this review cannot be repeated here. If you can handle profanity and want an unfiltered take, you can read it here (but I did warn you!): theboganacademic.substack.com/p/the-gentle...

Just learned of this new book, The Gentle Academic, edited by @drkellyallen.bsky.social and Christine Grove. Very excited to dive in and see how I can realize these teachings in my own life!

I nearly had a little cry when I saw that our only altmetric came from this post by @socraticsiren.bsky.social - all I could see was this screenshot. Then I logged in and realised they were actually recommending our book! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Citing @drkellyallen.bsky.social (2020): “We need to invest in belonging and make it a priority – as a society, financially and through legislation. Belonging is intrinsic to the health, happiness and wellbeing of all people”, @hannahwilson.bsky.social in uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/a-... @sagepub.com

Delighted to share @drkellyallen.bsky.social's paper reformulating the Integrative Framework of Belonging through interviews of other esteemed belonging researchers! This open-access paper does a deep dive on the theory––a must read for anyone using the framework! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨 @drkellyallen.bsky.social's new paper features interviews with 10 belonging scholars on the Integrative Framework of Belonging, offering novel insights that clarify, deepen, and reshape the model! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨 Important new paper from the Ed Psych Review special issue on belonging. This paper considers how racial/ethnic identity relates to school belonging and how that might depend on whether asset-based pedagogy is being used in classrooms

Beyond publication-based metrics for evaluating and valuing scientists and their contributions @naturenews.bsky.social @drkellyallen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

LOVE the idea of a "good stuff" index! 👏👏

If you're collecting "evidence" as to why belonging matters, here’s some fresh research to add to your collection:

What belongs in a “good stuff” index? My thought piece in @nature.com is now #freetoread. It reimagines academic metrics to better reflect what academics value & the systems we want to work in. What would you add? rdcu.be/ec5uN @timeshighered.bsky.social @chronicle.com @insidehighered.com

The pressure to publish in high-impact journals is often at the expense of other scholarly activities https://go.nature.com/3XihhIf

If people & academic institutions are going to continue tracking things, index, & compete, we might as well measure what matters! What about a "good stuff" index that measures what we value & contributes to the types of workplaces we want to work in. Here's my pitch: tinyurl.com/3ahn4nmc @nature.com

🔥 NEW PAPER 🔥 The dream collaboration with wonderful colleague & friend @dryasmiyn.bsky.social has come to fruition w/ our CEP paper: "Too quant to crit? Advancing QuantCrit methodologies in educational psychology" doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... *Yes, the title is based on MCHammer lyrics Fav quotes ⬇️

Incredibly excited about a special issue @chrisrozek.bsky.social and I are editing on SCHOOL BELONGING with Ed Psych Review! 🎉 The first paper is out! Once published, all papers can be found here: link.springer.com/collections/... I’ll update this thread when each article gets posted ⬇️

The 2nd article is a scoping review by a great team (incl yours truly and @chrisrozek.bsky.social) on links between college #belonging & academic outcomes and the need to explore institutional & individual factors: doi.org/10.1007/s106... Special thanks to guest editor @drkellyallen.bsky.social! 🙏

Students in EDF4599, the Psychology of Wellbeing and Human Flourishing, for the Graduate Diploma of Professional Psychology, created blog posts! First up, by @AarushiAtri on How to Practice Gratitude the Right Way 👉 www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/sens... 👏👏👏👏 Congrats on being published! 👏👏👏

This was one of the first papers I got to "accept" as Associate Editor for RER! 🥰 So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for promoting it, @jeffgreene.bsky.social! Keep the hot takes going! 🔥

Sometimes building a sense of belonging means literally cutting through barriers. We sawed a gap in the fence so these two tiny neighbours could chat. Now, there's more connecting and less shouting over the fence!

Hi! I'm a social psychologist in a Department of Education, and I'm interested in student belonging, emotions, motivation, and interventions. I mostly work with adolescents. See below for an example of my belonging theory work done with awesome collaborators :) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
