Call for Participation: USQ's World Access to Higher Education Day Online Symposium
14 October 2019

For the second year, the University of Southern Queensland will host a one day online symposium that will engage local and national stakeholders in exploring concepts, challenges and opportunities on widening access and participation in higher education.

You are invited to make a submission to the USQ’s World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED) symposium.

It is crucial that if we are to continue to reduce inequalities in access to higher education in Australia, then a platform for open discussion needs to be started. This one day symposium will bring together individuals from across Australia who are engaging in research and scholarship, or undertaking projects and other initiatives, that are addressing this challenge.

Submission Types
The USQ WAHED Symposium will be an opportunity for engagement. This means we are looking for a diverse range of topics, centred on this years’ theme ‘Advocating for Equity’. You can choose the format below that works best for your topic. Please note this is an online symposium - you can present and participate from anywhere.
You can submit a:
• Lightning talk, or
• Full presentation

How to Make a Submission
Submissions are due Monday 14 October 2019 via the Symposium website: https://wahed.usq.edu.au

2019 Symposium: Capabilities and Capitals: Implications for Students’ Persistence and Success at University
Thursday 21 and Friday 22 November 2019

REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN for this symposium which will bring together key thinkers and scholars who have applied the capability theory (Sen 1992, 1993) and capital theory (Bourdieu, 1986, 1993) across disciplines to consider how this framing may assist us to reconceptualise student persistence.

We know little about how learners draw on ‘internal capabilities’ (Nussbaum, 2011) when persisting in university; these capabilities are not innate but develop in interaction with the individual’s environment (social, cultural, familial and political). To contribute alternative perspectives on the issue of student participation and retention, this symposium deliberately shifts attention away from deficit views of student cohorts and instead utilises the Capability Approach and Capital Theories to understand the ways in which students successfully navigate higher education and reach graduation.

Held over two days 21 and 22 November 2019, the symposium will be of interest to HE researchers/scholars, equity/widening participation stakeholders, academic staff, policy makers, not-for profit/community organisations.

VENUE: UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG
