Embracing the β€œthird space” in higher education: A case for embedded students-as-partners teaching and learning | International Journal for Students as Partners This paper presents a case for integrating students as partners (SaP) within the curriculum of higher education (HE), particularly through the lens of β€œthird space” learning. Drawing on our experiences as a collaborative of educators in Canada and the United Kingdom, we explore the liberatory potential of play, partnership, and co-creation in HE. Through the Becoming an Educationist (Becoming) module, we demonstrate how SaP can empower studentsβ€”especially non-traditional students in UK post-1992 universities, that is, UK institutions with a strong focus on widening participation, applied learning, and β€œsocial mobility” or transformative learningβ€”to find their voice in academia. We argue for embedding SaP within the curriculum to foster a sustainable ecology of collaborative practice for social justice, challenging traditional divisive structures in education.

"Students need structured opportunities to collaborate with peers, lecturers, and external partners as part of their core program, with dedicated time and space to engage in partnership work." [Abegglen et al., 2025, page 223]

Encyclopedia of Postdigital Science and Education Encyclopedia of Postdigital Science and EducationΒ brings together the voluminous knowledge on scholarly research and learning in our postdigital condition. Since its first public appearance in 2000, the concept of the postdigital has entered mainstream in research fields from philosophy through arts to education. During the past years, we are witnessing a rapid growth in number of academic books and articles dealing (explicitly and implicitly) with education and research in and for the postdigital age. There is a growing number of research centers and funded projects situated in the postdigital perspective, and the concept of the postdigital is now mainstreamed in popular discourse.Β Encyclopedia of Postdigital Science and EducationΒ covers that need as theΒ first reference work with an explicit focus to postdigital themes and research approaches.
