Belonging Pedagogy: Revisiting Identity, Culture, and Difference
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v65 n1 p63-80 2024
This study examines belonging pedagogy as an effective, culturally respectful intervention in art education. Art education faculty members at three institutions collaborated and organized virtual workshops to broaden the scope of diversity and promote online community building. Culturally sensitive and inclusive education and pedagogy of belonging are presented as conceptual backgrounds, combined with a constant comparative method through which outcomes of the study are analyzed. By incorporating personal narratives into K-16 educational practices, students can revisit their racial and cultural differences and sense of belonging in the classroom context. They can make real-world connections through art by being vulnerable and open to difficult conversations, sharing individual stories, making art collaboratively, and personalizing the social and cultural contexts of society. This approach can be applied to both teacher education and K-12 classrooms to create a safe space for students to reflect on their identities and cultures and build a sense of belonging.
