Dear HERDSA Members

We need your vote please to create a 4D learning environment for students and community to access the UWA EZONE Engineering Building site long after construction is complete. Students have been carefully taking and stitching photos during the construction and the UWA Alumni grant would create the online platform. The 4D learning environment is inspired by a presentation by Chris Landorf at a HERDSA Conference. I am grateful to Chris for providing guidance throughout the project.

Watch our pitch here https://alumni.uwa.edu.au/peoples-choice#ezone-4d Everyone can vote. Please vote and share widely. Voting closes 5pm Friday 1 November 2019 Western Australian time. #EZONE-4d

COUNTDOWN to Capabilities and Capitals: Implications for Students’ Persistence and Success at University
Register by 13 November, 2019

REGISTRATIONS ARE STILL OPEN: This FREE event 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

Research Study - Sessional Academic Staff Experiences and Wellbeing in Higher Education: An Evaluation of Academic Development

You are invited to participate in this research study which is being conducted as part of my PhD at the University of Newcastle. This study is being supervised by Doctor Scott Imig and Doctor Narelle Eather. I am investigating academic developer experiences and perspectives of academic development provided to sessional academic staff at the university; and the academic development experiences and wellbeing of sessional academic staff.

This study is important because it will shed light on academic development approaches that encourage the full support and development of sessional academic staff in our universities.

I am seeking the contribution of academic developers or staff responsible for the professional development and support of sessional academic staff; and, if possible, to also invite the sessional staff cohort at your university to participate in the study.

To be part of this project, you would be agreeing to (1) participate in a recorded 60-minute phone or skype interview with the researcher, at a time that suits you; and (2) take responsibility to send an email to your sessional academic staff cohort seeking their participation in the study.
