Editor position - Research and Development in Higher Education
22 February 2019

The HERDSA Executive has decided to discontinue the full-paper option for the annual HERDSA Conference. Previously, the accepted full-papers have been published as Research and Development in Higher Education (RDHE). 

The Executive has decided to change RDHE by making a call for full papers developed from accepted and presented abstracts from the Annual HERDSA conference and related to the Conference theme. The papers will go through a similar peer-review process as used by RDHE editors in the past. An example can be viewed at http://conference.herdsa.org.au/2016/refereed.html. Previous volumes of RDHE can be viewed at http://www.herdsa.org.au/publications/conference_proceedings. 

The HERDSA Executive is now seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from a current member/s to take on the role of Editor for 'Research and Development in Higher Education, Next generation Higher Education: Challenges, Changes and Opportunities, Vol 42'. (2019 Conference).

The editor will establish a voluntary editorial team which will be responsible for managing the call for submissions, developing and managing the review process, and finalising the formatting of the papers in consultation with the Publications portfolio of the HERDSA Executive. The Editor will become an Officer of HERDSA for the duration of the editorial process.

Expressions of Interest (two-page maximum) should include: name and contact details, brief CV, previous/current editorial experience, and, if it is a team application, how the members will work together to meet the timelines. This EOI is intended to apply to Vol 42 only, although subsequent application may be made for Vol 43 (2020 conference).

Please send your EOI to office@herdsa.org.au by Monday 22nd February 2019.

For further information, please contact the HERDSA President Allan Goody (agoody56@gmail.com)

Reimagining The Higher Education Student Call For Chapter-Abstracts
28 February 2018

Researching with Higher Education Students?

Please consider submitting a chapter-abstract for an internationally focussed edited publication that aims to bring together a range of scholars from different parts of the world and various disciplinary backgrounds (e.g. education, sociology, geography, media, political science, social policy) to investigate the ways in which contemporary higher education students are understood. Of particular interest is the ways in which these conceptualisations sometimes ‘jostle uncomfortably’ in relation to each other, with different stakeholders portraying students in somewhat contradictory or divergent terms.

A proposal will be submitted to the Routledge/SRHE Research into Higher Education Series (see http://www.routledge.com/books/series/SRHE/) in spring 2019. 

If you would like to have your work considered for inclusion in this edited collection, please send an abstract (of approximately 500 words) and a brief biographical statement to Rachel Brooks at the University of Surrey, UK (r.brooks@surrey.ac.uk) and Sarah O’Shea at the University of Wollongong, Australia (saraho@uow.edu.au) by 28 February 2019.
