Article Abstract
Students who speak English as a second language (ESL) are underserved and underrepresented in postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. To date, most existing research with ESL students in higher education is qualitative. Drawing from this important body of work, we investigate the impact of a social-belonging intervention on anticipated changes in belonging, STEM GPA, and proportion of STEM credits obtained in students' first semester and first year of college. Using data from more than 12,000 STEM-interested students at 19 universities, results revealed that the intervention increased ESL students' anticipated sense of belonging and three of the four academic outcomes. Moreover, anticipated changes in belonging mediated the intervention's effects on these academic outcomes. Robustness checks revealed that ESL effects persisted even when controlling for other identities correlated with ESL status. Overall, results suggest that anticipated belonging is an understudied barrier to creating a multilingual and diverse STEM workforce.

Introduction: Prior studies have found that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) often experience being excluded from important parts of society, and unemployment and lack of social connections may severely negatively impact quality of life for people with ID.
Methods: Five persons with ID participating in a project at a Norwegian University were interviewed, with a particular emphasis on how they experienced social inclusion at this non-sheltered work environment. The participants also worked in a sheltered environment.

This study examines the socio-cultural dimensions of anabolic-androgenic steroid use among queer men in Winnipeg, Canada, addressing a gap in research that often focuses on risks and harms. Using qualitative methods, 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted with current, former, and potential anabolic-androgenic steroid users. Findings reveal that anabolic-androgenic steroid use extends beyond individual health risks, acting as a 'technology of the self' that fosters physical transformation, personal empowerment, and social belonging.

Background: Prior research demonstrates that Latinx youth disproportionately receive negative labels from parents, peers, and teachers. Negative labels are stigmatizing and often result in rejection or devaluation of the labeled person which can be pivotal within the developmental window of adolescence. Prior research has already shown that experiences of exclusion and social rejection can have detrimental impacts on mental and physical health.
