Tracing the evolution of student voice - Alison Cook-Sather
Date / Time: 21 March 2018

The address will touch on the definitions and contexts of “student voice”; the relationship among voice, rights, and power; research methods that have evolved to integrate student voice and participation; the diversification of voices included in student voice research; and changes in (re)presentation of students in educational research.
