“…Inspired by the salience of being socially isolated and left behind, which we inductively generated through a literature synthesis, we employ a theoretical lens of young people's 'belonging work' deriving from the sociology of youth [23]. This is consistent with studies of young people's recovery arguing that recovery and identity formation are highly interactional processes in youth and young adulthood [9,11,12].…”

“…The majority of translations in this meta-ethnography concern young people's relationships with others, which inspired us to apply young people's 'belonging work' as a lens to explore young adults' recovery and identity processes during times of life-disruptive mental distress. The belonging work perspective derives from the field of sociology of youth and presents young people's work to belong or disconnect while negotiating and shaping identity [23]. Researchers are guided by questions as to what actors do to belong, which actions are acceptable or expected, and who will be allowed to belong [52].…”

Young people’s mental health recovery is well-explored in empirical research, yet there is a lack of meta-studies synthesizing the characteristics of young people’s recovery. This meta-ethnography explores young adults’ recovery during life-disruptive experiences of early psychosis or schizophrenia. Based on a systematic literature review search, 11 empirical qualitative studies were included for synthesis. Inspired by young people’s prominent experience of social isolation in the included studies, we applied an interpretive lens of belonging deriving from the sociology of youth. The synthesis presents five themes: (1) expectations of progression in youth in contrast with stagnation during psychosis, (2) feeling isolated, lost and left behind, (3) young adults’ recovery involves belonging with other young people, (4) forming identity positions of growth and disability during psychosis, and the summarizing line of argument, (5) navigating relational complexities in the process of recovery. While suffering from social isolation, young people’s recovery is conceived as getting on with life, like any other young person involving connecting and synchronizing life rhythms with their age peers. Socializing primarily with caring adults entails being stuck in the position of a child, while connecting with young people enables the identity positions of young people. This synthesis can inspire support for young people’s recovery through social inclusion in youth environments.

“…affluent and mono‐cultural), contrasting these with those that are viewed as “less desirable” (disadvantaged and culturally diverse) (Fincher & Jacobs, 1998; Permentier et al, 2008). In the so‐called “less desirable” suburbs, it is harder to negotiate a sense of living together successfully, while the specific context—in terms of informal or institutional, work or leisure based, familial and community—is also a key factor (Habib & Ward, 2019).…”

This article explores the concept of conviviality: the practice and negotiation of sharing space in suburbs with diverse populations (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 2016, 37, 423). Australia has a growing Muslim population and reports of Islamophobia remain widespread. While there is some evidence, however, that forming intercultural connections can foster more positive attitudes toward religious minority groups, we know little about how Muslim and non‐Muslim communities share space in Australia. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative investigation into how conviviality is perceived in Australian suburbs with high concentrations of Muslim residents. Following qualitative, thematic analysis of 15 interviews with multicultural service providers who work with Muslims in Melbourne, Victoria, we conclude that conviviality is fostered by a sense of community between people who share similar backgrounds as well as increased opportunities to form intercultural social connections. We discuss the scholarly and policy implications of these findings, with consideration of existing arguments about the practices of sharing space in Australian cities.

“…These studies suggest that belonging is not just something a person experiences but something a person does. Noble (2019) refers to it as a form of “labour” that “produces and reproduces” the world around us (p. xviii). It is a reciprocal, interpersonal process that involves choice, even though that choice is constrained by factors out of a person’s control.…”

The Right to Belong in School: A Critical, Transdisciplinary Conceptualization of School Belonging

Belonging is a critical factor for supporting student success and well-being in school. Unfortunately, the work of fostering belonging at school for all students continues to face significant challenges. One reason is that the field of education is working from a limited conception of school belonging, based mainly in the discipline of psychology. Belonging is more than just a psychological sense—it is also a social, cultural, and even political process. In this article, Paul Kuttner explores six aspects of belonging that are underemphasized in the school belonging literature, arguing that we should think of school belonging as agentic, intersectional, systemic, political, place-based, and a right. Kuttner proposes a definition of belonging that encompasses these aspects and uses it to suggest future directions for research and practice.
