Abstract

This article extends long standing work in the learning sciences that evidences the interdependence of identity, belonging, and learning. Informed by a grounded theory analysis of 19 interviews conducted within the geographic areas of Central Kentucky and Appalachia, with alumni from five community-based youth arts organizations, this analysis draws on subset of data from a large-scale, multi-sited and international study into the enduring effects of participating in out-of-school arts programming. By analyzing the existence of long-term effects through the narratological accounts of people at least ten years beyond program participation, this study further develops the field's understanding of the way learning, belonging and identity are deeply intertwined.
