Ways to get involved with RAISE

The Student Engagement in Higher Education Journal. 

The Student Engagement in Higher Education Journal is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing contributions dealing with student engagement in Higher Education from a disciplinary or multi-disciplinary perspective.  

The focus of the journal reflects the focus of RAISE: research, theory, practice and policy about student engagement. We adopt a very broad definition of student engagement as this is a multi-construct. This includes all forms of work around student voice, student participation and students as partners. 

There is currently a rolling call for contributions, and we welcome contributions from those working and studying in Higher Education, and encourage you to chat to Rachel Forsyth, Editor-in-Chief, while at the conference to find out more.
