Hello Everyone.
We are so excited to welcome back Dr. Paula Clark and Dr. Kristin Barbour for what we are calling an Education Roundtable. It has been too long since the four of us gathered around our virtual zoom room and talked about the books, articles, and other topics on our minds. In part one of our roundtable, we discuss Hope and Help and scratch the surface into why many kids in K-12 do not like school.
Hope you enjoy!

No - Brianne and I are not snowed in but this article and the weather in the town provided an opportunity for one researcher to explore the every day experiences of belonging. We often forget that belonging is grounded in people, places, and our history. Brianne and I share the article and the discoveries and questions that emerged for us.
Enjoy!

Brianne and I had so much fun revisiting and sharing a very recent article about school belonging. In it, Dr. Kuttner, a professor at the University of Utah, writes about how multiple perspectives inform his definition of school belonging. We discuss the importance of agency, intersectionality, systems, and others.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

We are so excited to share our conversation with Dr. Vanessa May. Dr. May is a sociologist and researcher who studies belonging in the context of place. We had so much fun getting to talk with Dr. May and exploring some of the questions she examines in her research.

Hope you enjoy.

Hello Everyone.
Please take a listen to this beautiful conversation that Brianne and I were lucky enough to be a part of with Janine McGuire. It was an amazing journey into Janine's early music days at camp, sharing ideas and music across the distance, and her current work in musical theatre. She shares her views on belonging, music and story, and much more.

I know you are going to love this one!

Take care,
Carey

Hi Everyone.
Brianne and I are extra excited to share our conversation with Dr. Nick Sousanis. He is an award winning comics author, artist, mathematician, and an Associate Professor Humanities and Liberal Arts. We talked about his beautiful creation, Unflattening, his "origin story," as well as his journey to make Unflattening the focus of his doctoral studies and eventually a published book. If you want to learn more about Dr. Sousanis be visit his website and check out the comic-focused minor and certificate he leads at San Francisco State.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed spending time with Nick.

With joyful anticipation,

Carey and Brianne
