🚨 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

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....
