Considering Time in Students as Partners - Center for Engaged Learning

60-Second SoTL – Episode 73

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:

Harvey, Kelsey, Katherine R. Cooper, Stephanie Hatzifilalithis, Elisa Do, Julia Cerminara, and Jacob Krone. 2026. “Students as (Intergenerational) Partners: Considering Time in the 4M Framework.” Teaching & Learning Inquiry 13: 1–17. https://doi.org/10.20343/teachlearninqu.14.2
