Abstract / Description of output
We explored the experiences of and outcomes for students and staff working in partnership on an academic development project aiming to enhance the inclusivity of science curricula across a faculty. Quantitative survey data revealed changes in student and staff perceptions including increases in sense of belonging for both, perceptions of fairness in decision making for students, and increased adoption of inclusive teaching practices for staff. Open responses articulated benefits and challenges of the project. Implications from this research will be relevant to academic developers working in similar spaces such as decolonising the curriculum or engaging students as partners in development work.
