Reinvention:an International Journal of Undergraduate Research

Welcome to volume 19 issue 2, a testament to the strength and vibrancy of undergraduate research the issue brings together research papers and critical reflections spanning the sciences, social sciences and humanities, and introduces a new Liberal Arts section lead by the Liberal Arts Northern Network in the UK. The theme Bridges to Belonging provides the opportunity to reflect on identity and what it means to belong within a space, while the papers diverge in discipline and method, each reveals something about identity: how it is narrated, recognised, constrained or denied. Together the papers ask what it takes to build a bridge from the margins to a place of belonging. This edition brings together work across international relations, media studies, nutritional science and reflective practice, while its liberal arts collection ranges from medieval mysticism to computational modelling. Each paper approaches identity from its own angle, and together they show how many ways there are to understand who we are and where we belong.
