SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Belonging Through Resistance and Change
DESCRIPTION:Belonging exists within ecological frameworks where individuals experience varying degrees of connection depending on their social and physical location. From the construction of classroom syllabi to the development of federal and global policies\, numerous factors influence an individual's sense of belonging in higher education. Belonging is inherently political\, contested\, and continuously evolving. The concept of belonging is often naturalized\, leading to the assumption that belonging is obvious or innate. When belonging is framed as natural\, it obscures the reality that belonging is always contested\, and neutrality in this context is neither fixed nor truly impartial.\n\nBeyond its precarious nature\, another critical issue arises when decision-makers in positions of power predominantly represent specific groups\, resulting in leadership that does not reflect the diversity of their organizations. This lack of representation perpetuates exclusion and limits the breadth of perspectives in decision-making processes.\n\nAdditionally\, based on social positioning\, individuals may feel disconnected from larger macro systems but find a sense of belonging within smaller communities that share identities and experiences. These communities often serve as vital spaces for survival and resistance. Ultimately\, individuals exercise agency in shaping their sense of belonging. While institutions bear a responsibility to cultivate an inclusive environment for students\, faculty\, and staff\, individuals also have control over how they engage with and create belonging.\n\nThis panel aims to deepen understanding by exploring how belonging is negotiated and sustained in complex social and ecological contexts. It will examine the challenges of fostering a sense of belonging and how individuals or groups create belonging through self-driven initiatives and resistance efforts.
