Dear #issotl23 . Still reflecting on Prof Dilly Fung’s keynote…. like an intergenerational conversation sharing wisdom about, & hope for, capacious scholarship. I’ll bring that thinking into several #studentsaspartners sessions on today. Small request - sunshine pls? Love, Kelly.

Dear #issotl23 . What a place for a conference. On-site roller coaster (for real), suitcases w/tiny worlds inside, and train car sessions as space for so many SoTL stories. Keen to catch up w/student inquiry group today & listen to Prof Dilly Fung. Love Kelly.

Dear #issotl23 . Keen to meet new folks today & re-connect w/old friend Mick Healey to talk about writing SoTL for publication. Sharing writing frameworks and honest stories of writing w/friends makes our writing better & more joyful. Love, Kelly.

Kelly Matthews Crina Damsa We’re discussing student agency and partnership in authentic assessment design. We’ve recently discussed the ethics of shaping students as educational subjects through assessment with LiliYANG - might be interesting to look more closely at auth. as. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

What a great way to spent a few hours today - inspiring facilitators creating space for important, nuanced perspectives on a topic desiring of our full attention. Lots of gratitude to 🧠🧑🏻‍🦽🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈BaileyMadHatter (Ze/They) Kate Walsh & Ana for the vision.

Is it just me? Anyone else feeling like ‘assessment’ conversations are constraining (at best) & de-humanising (at worst)? Join in. Contribute to a different conversation. Dr Joanna Tai Mollie Dollinger

Good read on the benefits of the ‘unconference’ to encourage greater inclusivity by platforming, validating, and sharing the lived expertise of minority voices in higher education. Helpful strategies to run your own unconference. Thanks Brooke Szucs

Loving this book - challenging notion of student voice as passive, survey-completing exercise solved by giving students more choice. Real examples and expansive opportunities for inclusion and equity. Recommend. Students as Partners

“Why does research matter?”

For the WSU Student Partners, research is an integral part of how we go about Co-creating Change at the university.

We’ve also been working on an interesting research paper coming soon. #westernsap #studentsaspartners #westernsydneyuniversity
