We are Co-Researchers

Through our writing and presentations , we do our best to add value to the research field about Student-Staff Partnership. It’s a big learning curve for many of us but it has helped expand our curriculum co-creation work.

Publications

It’s important for us to communicate our curriculum co-creation work to audiences outside our University. We want researchers to have a chance to build on our work, and we want our work to be in dialogue with the international Student-Staff Partnership research conversation. It’s a good way for us to test our ideas and practices.
