Field experiences offer unique, transformative learning for students, but may also present barriers to participation, particularly for marginalized students. Using in-person and virtual interviews (n=10), we investigated students' sense of belonging in GeoSPACE, a hybrid field course designed to be accessible for students with disabilities. We'll explore the factors that students perceived as influential to their sense of belonging and how these may be applied in other field contexts. Participants will leave with evidence-based suggestions for how to support student belonging in the field.
