Building Together: ‘Students as Partners’ in Co-Creating Education

In this episode, we discuss the transformative potential of ‘students as partners’ in higher education. Professor Mollie Dollinger, Director of iSoLT in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Curtin University, shares her journey from studying co-creation to becoming an advocate for equitable student partnerships. The conversation dives into practical strategies for implementing students-as-partners initiatives, including ways to ensure inclusivity, balance power dynamics, and foster genuine collaboration. We envision a future where ‘students as partners’ is embedded within the fabric of universities, driving innovation, inclusivity, and excellence in teaching and learning.
