    This action research project explores how language barriers and peer networks affect international students’ participation and sense of belonging in UK higher education, particularly in creative arts contexts. As an educator from a Pan-Asian background with a neurodivergent profile, I reflect on how my positionality informs inclusive teaching practices. Using a short questionnaire and interviews…
