The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

This free event will present data from an Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES)-funded research project Time for a rethink: Assessment policy to enable equity. In this project, researchers analysed the assessment policies of all Australian universities and investigated how a sample of universities with inclusive policies managed these in practice. The purpose of the roundtable is to open up a dialogue about time and its influence on the Higher Education experiences of students, especially those from equity backgrounds, in a range of university contexts. Educational leaders who oversee policy development and academic staff responsible for implementation of policy through their assessment practices are invited to contribute to this conversation.

The roundtable will be hosted by the research team (Assoc Prof Jo Dargusch, Dr Lois Harris, Prof Margaret Kettle [CQU], Prof Jill Willis, Dr Julie Arnold [QUT]) and include participants from our sample universities and attendees.
