Reflections on disciplinary perspectives on students as partners

Healey, Mick; Healey, Ruth L; West, Harry

Abstract

In thinking about writing this editorial, as three geographers, we began by wanting to reflect on what, if any, difference our discipline made to our lived experiences of engaging with students as partners (SaP). These reflections led us to explore broader questions about how interest in SaP in higher education varies by discipline, what forms SaP might take in different disciplines, and under what circumstances disciplines may be an important contextual factor in SaP. While recognising the dangers of not seeing beyond disciplinary boundaries and appreciating the value of cross-disciplinary perspectives, we see this editorial as an opportunity to explore the role of disciplines in SaP.
