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.

You are reading: Trials for Equity: A workshop (WA)

Overview

ACSES Trial Lead, Dr Patricia Vermillion Peirce, will be hosting a workshop for equity practitioners to discuss equity practices that are currently underway across WA universities and identifying those that may be of greatest value to trial for the benefit of equity cohorts.  

Join us in this workshop to explore some challenging concepts relevant to trials.

Event information

Details:

In this workshop, the challenging concepts relevant to trials that will be explored include 

  • Making clear what questions trials can (and cannot) answer, so practitioners can determine the relevance and need for a trial. 
  • Discussing randomisation and some common beliefs about withholding support, so practitioners can decide if/how randomisation can be done ethically. 
  • Discussing the participant numbers needed for different types of trials, so practitioners can determine if a trial is feasible. 
  • Providing examples of trials of equity programs, demonstrating how trials can be conducted ethically in the Australian equity sector.
