Navigating Student-Faculty Partnerships: Mutual Empowerment and Building Relationships
摘要
This chapter reflects on the evolving landscape of Students-as-Partners (SaP) in a living-and-learning programme of a residential college within a Southeast Asian university. The authors draw from their collaborative experience in developing a short-term overseas learning programme in Nepal and present their reflections in a dialogic format exploring two key themes of mutual empowerment and relationship building. Locating each other’s disempowered scholarly positions and shortening the faculty-student distances are essential in creating successful partnerships in higher education. Perspectives for executing SaP projects are offered with an emphasis on learner-centric education and advocating for the ongoing nurturing of constructive student-faculty relationships.
