Case Studies

In this seminar, CRADLE researchers Dr Joanna Tai, Dr Nicole Crawford and Professor Rola Ajjawi offer an overview of findings from a qualitative longitudinal study investigating undergraduate equity-group students’ day-to-day experiences in negotiating their life, work and learning at Deakin University. Thirty-five students took part in a series of four interviews from June 2023 to July 2024, resulting in a total of 123 in-depth interviews.

This interactive spreadsheet known as the Equity Studies Library provides 118 studies identified as part of the Critical Interventions Framework Part 3. The literature was collected between June 2015 and May 2023 Arranged alphabetically, the Equity Studies Library includes key information on 89 peer reviewed journal articles and 29 research reports which can be filtered by key factors including: equity group, stage of the student life cycle, and method type, among other things.

The Equity Initiatives Impact Studies Guide provides an overview of specific impact studies across student life cycle stages (published between June 2015 and May 2023). It highlights the mechanisms which have been shown to enable students to gain access to higher education and experience success in their studies.
