INTRODUCING STUDENT VOICE

Student Voice, a new section of the journal, has the express intention of providing former enabling students with an opportunity to critically reflect on their experiences in an access program and to write about its impact on their educational journey. Hearing from students who are the beneficiaries of widening participation policies provides the ISWP readership with an important flipside to the work of academics and practitioners.

Student Voice is an annual ‘best paper’ prize of $500 open to former enabling students from across Australia who have since entered or graduated from undergraduate/postgraduate study.

To read the inaugural paper, which appeared in the last Issue (Vol 5, No 2), go to:
