Reviews

“This is an evidence-informed contribution that also recognises the importance of lived experience. There are numerous ‘hooks’ throughout the book that help to conceptualise belonging and unbelonging with a focus on the care experience. The author writes with passion and provides provocations throughout to make changes that empower and humanise the education, social care and health experience.” – Kerry Murphy, Early Childhood and Inclusion Specialist “Lisa is a thought leader. She has a handle on all the research, past and present and she has lived experience. This is one of the best books I’ve read on this topic” – Catrina Lowri, Neurodiversity Trainer and Consultant, Neuroteachers “There is a quiet academic feel about this book, interwoven with lived experiences. This is a real strength and helps sets the tone of bringing all that we are, with us. Weaving a Web of Belonging focuses not just on our experiences of the past but informing us of the future too.” – Sarah Johnson, Director of Phoenix Education Consultancy ""Those of us who have followed Dr Lisa Cherry’s work for years look to her for a call to action—and Weaving a Web of Belonging is exactly that. But it is also something more: a generous invitation to pause, to reflect, and to rethink how we create spaces of connection. Lisa holds us entangled in a new understanding of belonging that lingers long after the final page."" - Tim Fisher, Principal Social Worker and Relational Activist
