Reviews

This inspiring collection addresses the varying practical, academic, and emotional needs of students, and showcases how intentional, student-led design can foster belonging. Through co-creation, genuine inclusivity, and practical innovation, these chapters offer an evidence-based roadmap for building resilient and supportive academic communities where all students can connect, thrive, and succeed. – Sunday Blake, Guild HE With contributions from across the sector, this edited collection successfully showcases good practice and evidence about the place of belonging within the wider student experience. With the added bonus of recommendations and practical lessons learnt, it really is a must have read for the Higher Education sector. – Kate Strudwick, University of Lincoln This book provides fantastic evidence-informed examples of how colleagues and students have co-created practical interventions to engage students and help them to belong and succeed in higher education. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, whatever their role in higher education, who wants to convert belonging theory into reality. – Liz Thomas, University of York
