In his 3-year role as Founding Fellow, Small will deepen this work and examine how educators can facilitate spaces for all students to belong.
Evan Small, assistant teaching professor in the Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education, has been selected as a founding fellow for the Centre for Belonging in Education.
The Centre for Belonging in Education is a U.K.-based group of researchers and practitioners that advocates for policies and practices to support belonging across educational spaces. The Centre seeks to co-create practical resources, build robust evidence and develop policy recommendations in both the U.K. and the U.S.
Much of Small’s existing scholarship is focused on belonging and mattering in and out of classrooms. In his three year role as founding fellow, Small will deepen this work and examine how educators can facilitate spaces for all students to belong.
