HERDSA Webinar: Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education
Thursday 1 September 2022 - 1.00pm to 2.00pm

"You can never bathe in the same river twice” (Heraclitus): Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education. Presented by Melinda Lewis

The webinar will share some of my more affective experiences of human connection through on campus, on country and online cultural mentoring to support Indigenous Australian cultural competence. I will speak from my reflections on the curious ways of working when on one shoreline I feel deeply drawn towards Indigenous pedagogies and research methods, and in my own doctoral research, whilst on the other I experience intellectual shame risking cultural protocols and insensitivity. Based on my history, identity, and biography I feel I have to flow like a tide, seeking humility and agility whilst building relationality with people, forms of knowledge and their systems, the natural and social worlds, and through insights of my many selves.

I offer an analogy of the river, where sometimes we may feel adrift, lonely, and disconnected, at other times, sublimely in the flow to the touch. Exploring these interplays through grounded practices and protocols aims to invite navigational stories in teaching for learning, and developing sensitivities written into Indigenous scholarship. Built on culturally nuanced relationships, these ways of working can be deep and rewarding.

Call for papers - JTLGE special issue Recognising and Reconceptualising Ability: Reflections on Disability and Employ-Ability
19 September 2022 (extended)

In this special issue of JTLGE, we invite submissions on topics related to the intersections of disability and employability, particularly those that include the lived experience of navigating graduate employment settings. We define disability as extending to students with learning, physical or sensory disabilities, as well as mental health, neurodivergent and/or chronic medical conditions (including long COVID). Topics can include, but are not limited to the following:

* Policy or literature reviews (e.g., meta-analysis, systematic literature review) on inclusive and accessible approaches to higher education participation, success, and employability for students with a disability;
* Critical explorations of how students with a disability and/or careers staff navigate the stratification imposed by higher education policy, institutional practices or embedded expectations in relation to graduate employment;
* Approaches to work-integrated learning (WIL) that foreground ‘Ability’ across this student cohort and thereby assist in graduate success;
* Responses to policy or existing interventions that contribute critical perspectives on embedding ‘Ability’ across university employment services;
* Employer perspectives on recruiting and hiring students with a disability or supporting their WIL experiences;
* Challenges and solutions to students with a disability developing their employability through career development learning; and
* Specific interventions or case studies relating to students with a disability and employability – however case studies must strongly link to existing literature and be explicit about unique contribution to the field.

In addition to full articles, we invite students with a disability from all course levels and disciplines to submit a short (~1000 words) PROVOCATION to this special edition. Subject to peer review, these provocations are intended to showcase innovative student-led ideas on how disabilities and employability can be better supported at university. Provocations can be co-authored between students and staff.

We encourage whenever possible for authors to also refer to the Universal Design for Learning framework to ground their work across guidelines, accessible at: https://udlguidelines.cast.org

Important dates: To be considered, please first submit a 600-800 extended abstract for consideration by September 19, 2022. Please email to mollie.dollinger@deakin.edu.au. Full papers will be due by January 16th, 2023 with the goal to publish in August/September 2023.

The Special Issue Editors are Dr Mollie Dollinger, Dr Olivia Groves and Prof Sarah O’Shea.
