Call for Papers: Students as Partners in Sustainable Social Action
October 30, 2022

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada) invite paper proposals for the conference -- Equipping Student Leaders as Partners for Sustainable Humanitarian Action -- to be held between March 30 and April 1, 2023, in Waterloo, Ontario.

Established academics and emerging student researchers are encouraged to submit paper proposals related to empirical research, conceptual articles, literature reviews, case studies, or reflective essays focused on the process and nature of student-teacher partnerships. Papers that reflect collaboration between students and staff are encouraged. Further information about the conference concept is available at www.studentsaspartners.com. Proposals must be submitted through the website by October 30, 2022.

Among the questions that paper proposals might consider are:

- How can examples of student-led sustainable social initiatives inform the design of student-university/college partnerships for humanitarian action?
- What does “student-led” mean in practice when it comes to campus-based social action and what is the nature of student partnerships with faculty and staff?
- How does partnership with a faculty member or staff enhance student leadership learning?
- How should experiential learning opportunities be structured to best equip students to achieve their social action goals?
- What is the appropriate balance between student volunteer leadership and rewards in the form of payment or academic credit?
- How is power negotiated in the student-faculty/staff relationship when the long-term goal is sustainable social action?
- What conflicts have arisen in student partnerships for social action and how have they been negotiated?
- How have higher education institutions been able to support the outcomes of student social action that started in the classroom and what additional support is necessary to ensure the sustainability of an initiative?
- How can students help design pedagogical elements to further their learning and the action itself?

Post-Conference Publication

Papers selected for presentation at the conference will be considered for publication in a Special Section of the International Journal for Students as Partners (IJSaP) subject to further revision in light of feedback provided through the conference. Selection for presentation at the conference does not guarantee publication. Papers submitted to IJSaP must meet the journal criteria for the different genres (empirical research, conceptual article, literature review, case study, reflective essay, opinion piece), including word length limits and will go through normal blind review procedures (https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap).

Please forward to colleagues who may be interested.
