How does time—including age, career stage, and historical moments—shape students-as-partners work in higher education? And what do we miss when we don’t explicitly account for it? This episode features a secondary qualitative analysis drawing on three prior case studies connected to SoTL and Students-as-Partners work at a Canadian university:
