    ‘Ghost’ Leaders: Enabling and Creating Student Voice and Agency in the University Space
    Rahman, N ; Aayeshah, W (Australian College of Educators, 2021)
    Beyond teaching, tertiary educators and academics assume the responsibilities of researchers, mentors, scholars, and developers. They contribute as leaders and intellectuals who influence the institutional practices, and work towards accessibility and equity of resources. They offer students a variety of opportunities to learn and participate in the academic community while upholding high standards. Furthermore, they create and support future leaders. In this way, as an intellectual and collective enterprise, teaching practice itself takes up the leadership role within its own space and scope. Such leadership is acknowledged within the university settings. In recent times, ‘third space’ academics are also emerging as leaders within higher education settings. However, the leadership that happens within the ‘third space academia’ in higher education is often unacknowledged and unrecognised. These ‘ghost’ leaders are also significant for creating strong parallel links between students, academics, and professional staff within a higher education context. This project is a thought-provoking example of a ‘non-visible’ leadership role often undertaken by third space academics in the higher education settings.

    The capstone experience: five principles for a connected curriculum
    Goodwin, M ; Are, K ; Schmitz, MM ; Goodwin-Hawkins, B ; Aayeshah, W ; Lakey, E ; Bridgstock, R (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2019-01-01)
    This paper’s focus is the redesign and re-imagining of a selection of final-year capstone units in the Bachelor of Arts program at the University of Melbourne. We describe the five principles that were our blueprint for reinterpreting the capstone as a sequence of authentic, reflective, creative, celebratory and networked experiences. We view connectedness as having broader social and industrial implications beyond just purely disciplinary knowledge.
