Keynote Theme
Creating Inclusive and Equitable Learning Opportunities: The Potential of Pedagogical Partnership for Students and Faculty
Dr. Cook-Sather is a pioneer in the field of developing pedagogical partnerships between students and faculty, has published extensively herself, established and serves as editor for the International Journal of Students as Partners. In describing the importance of this work in increasing equity, she says:
“This work is especially important for underrepresented and underserved students at our institutions, which is where my research has focused recently. Partnership can create spaces within which students matter. Their perspectives matter. Their insights matter. Their experiences matter. And they have a voice in talking with faculty about what their experiences are and how classrooms can evolve to be more welcoming and valuing of what a diversity of students bring.“
