How children and young people experience belonging shapes their social worlds and futures. This edited collection is the first book to address:

1. How ‘belonging’ is understood, enacted and experienced among culturally and geographically diverse groups of young people in schools;
2. The pedagogies and practices that impact on young people’s experience of youth and schools as places of ‘belonging’; and
3. How belonging and non-belonging in schools might be theorised and practised in the future.
