Awarded Best Article for: The politics of student belonging: Identity and purpose, with the reviewers stating: “This research by Ajjawi, Gravett and O’Shea offers a way to rethink a significant area of the literature on teaching in higher education. They argue that “the notion of belonging should be handled with criticality and care”. It can be tempting to think that universities and educators should be able to find a way to ensure that all students achieve a sense of belonging at university, but if students have an active role to play establishing and curating belongings, then this is not necessarily something that educators can just arrange for their students”.
