EOI for a new SIG (Special Interest Group) HASS (Humanities, Arts and Social Science)
October 31
The objective of this proposed HASS SIG will be to explore through inquiry, conversation and collaboration the position and potential of HASS education in Australian tertiary settings. This proposed SIG will provide a platform for academics and scholars interested in SoTL within HASS area to exchange insights, engage in discussion, and share experiences while exploring new ways to prepare future HASS graduates for the world beyond university. This SIG will also create multiple opportunities for collaborations between all its members
It is common to hear doubts about the worthiness, applicability and viability of HASS degrees. In the Australian context, the previous federal government’s decision to double the cost of HASS degrees in order to steer students to other disciplines is evidence that HASS degrees are devalued. This proposed SIG will also explore the ways to foster the conversation within and beyond the academia and promote a social discourse in order to change the quality of contemporary debate regarding the HASS disciplines.
Please express your interest to be part of this SIG by completing this form https://forms.gle/kscmLxihNjNr6Dp37 by October 31, 2022. For any further enquiry please contact Dr Nira Rahman on nira.rahman@unimelb.edu.au

IJSaP 6(2) is published
We are delighted to let you know that the 12th Issue of the International Journal for Students as Partners (IJSaP) is now available from https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap/issue/current.
This issue features the third iteration of ‘Voices from the Field’, which focuses on: ‘The art of partnership: Expanding representations and interpretations’. It aims to contribute to decolonizing efforts that move beyond the primacy of the written word in white-supremacy ways of thinking in general and in representing pedagogical partnership work. In addition to the introduction by the editors, it features 14 contributions of artistic/visual images/videos that represent, describe, or explain the authors’ experiences of partnership and up to 200 words of context/additional explanation.
You will also find 14 other manuscripts - 1 editorial, 3 research articles, 3 case studies, 6 reflective essays and an opinion piece. Altogether 22 students and 35 staff/faculty from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have contributed to this issue.
This issue of IJSaP, which is hosted by the MacPherson Institute at McMaster University and published by McMaster University Library Press, was co-edited by students and staff/faculty from Australia, Canada, China (Hong Kong), China (Mainland), UK, and US.
Potential authors (both staff/faculty and students) with an idea for a research article, case study, opinion piece, reflective essay, or review are strongly encouraged to send the editors (ijsap@mcmaster.ca) a brief proposal for a research article (including empirical research articles, theoretical or conceptual articles, and literature reviews), case study, opinion piece, reflective essay, or review before writing and submitting the article. This will help ensure that the proposed piece fits with the focus of the journal and encourages a conversation between potential authors and the editorial board. We also welcome hearing your views about the journal.
Staff/faculty and students who have interest and experience in students as partners are encouraged to indicate their interest in joining the International Reviewer Panel by completing the Reviewer Expression of Interest Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe2Ao2MlJSORB0oNgIyBef2BA50v0dN...).
