Belonging is a fundamental right, essential to adolescent development, identity formation, and well-being. For undocumented youth, children of migrant workers born and raised in Israel, who navigate exclusion amid legal precarity, social marginalization, and institutional invisibility, belonging must be actively reclaimed.

Negotiating legitimacy and belonging
Through a Glass Brightly
This qualitative case study methodically explores ethical tensions that arose in the Research-based Theatre (RbT) project, Alone in the Ring (AitR), as a case. We borrowed Elliot Eisner’s set of tensions in Arts-Based Research (ABR), exploring the extent to which they manifested as ethical tensions in AitR. Following analysis of in-depth interviews with key project members, we identified five areas of ethical tension in AitR, adapting Eisner’s fr…

This study aimed to understand the barriers that disabled students in HHS programmes experience during practice placements and their perspective of how to better support and accommodate them. Disabled students …

This study explored the perspectives of disabled medical learners on e…
