Engagement Project

With our evidence gathering and dissemination now complete, we are now in the process of writing up our project on the subject of Student Engagement for publication. The first draft of our manuscript will be available on this website as a working paper from January 2021, before submission for peer review. The research will be co-authored by Jennifer Rose (AMBS), Paul Middleditch (SoSS), Simon Rudkin (SoSS), and William Moindrot (University of Liverpool); presentation slides are here. The normative implications from the students’ own research will feature prominently.
