Equity and Inclusion in Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
Join us to hear guest presenter Dr Deanna Grant-Smith (QUT) discuss the equity implications of WIL.
Australian universities are under increasing pressure to support students to develop the graduate skills and knowledge required to transition from education into professional practice. Despite the wide-scale adoption of WIL as a learning pedagogy in higher education there has been limited exploration of student experiences of WIL through a wellbeing lens or an explicit focus on equity considerations.
She will examine the equity implications her WIL research reveals about participant experiences and the potential this research has to inform WIL policies and practices to support student wellbeing.
