The concept of belonging is beginning to mesh with the DEI vocabulary, and I am thrilled to see this development.
Belonging, according to Cornell University is “the feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity for a member of a certain group. It is when an individual can bring their authentic self to work. When employees feel like they don’t belong at work, their performance and their personal lives suffer. Creating genuine feelings of belonging for all is a critical factor in improving engagement and performance. It also helps support business goals.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are things you can measure looking down from the God’s eye view. The mechanics are obscured by the categorical definitions. As a humanist, I trend towards the experienced, operational, and phenomenal. So, I am pleased to see the idea of belonging coming into the DEI matrix. Belonging is experienced, phenomenological, and operational, and therefore difficult, if not impossible to categorize from the top down. Belonging brings the motive from “power” to “relationship.” A much needed reframe.
The following MLA Bibliography is divided into six topical sections: Education, International, Beliefs, Conceptual/Theoretical, Technology. There may be overlap around the edges of the categories. For example, some things in education may overlap with International. I categorized with an eye towards topical centrality. This bibliography is by no means comprehensive. I only included academic papers or articles. No books. The date range goes back about 15 years because I wanted to show the evolution of the topic from its original home in International Studies.
The research on belonging is captivating and necessarily crosses all borders. I would not suggest, however, running to the nearest database and binging all of these at once. Pick through what you need with an eye towards the challenges you are facing.
