ACSES Equity Hub Community of Practice: Advancing Equity Evaluation
The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) hosted an engaging Equity Hub Community of Practice (CoP) at the University of Auckland on Monday, 18 November 2024. The event brought together equity practitioners, program managers, and researchers from across the higher education sector to share insights and strengthen networks.
The Equity Hub CoP featured robust discussions on evaluating equity initiatives, reflections on 2024, and collaborative planning for 2025. Highlights include a panel discussion “Collaborating for evaluation: observations and learnings from The University of Western Australia”. With contributions from project lead Nadine Zacharias (ACSES Visiting Scholar); UWA’s Elisa McGowan, Clara Yuan, Katie Douglas, Riett Kriel; and ACSES Research and Policy Director Ian Li, the discussion covers valuable lessons on team building for evaluation, data collection, and balancing qualitative and quantitative approaches in evaluation.
