Engaging Student Voices in Higher Education “The idea of higher education as a transformational process for students is a key ambition for many higher education institutions to fulfil. However, as mass higher education is currently evolving, it is a challenge to engage and cater for the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. Giving students a voice, and understanding better the many different voices of students is of crucial importance for those involved in higher education, and the current book is a must-read for those interested in bringing (all) students in as partners in learning, as change agents or as co-creators in their own transformational process. Through a range of critical and reflective contributions, this book offers theoretical and practical insights into the current and future ways and forms of student involvement in higher education.” —Professor Bjørn Stensaker, University of Oslo, Norway “Much has been written about the contemporary student in higher education, but ‘the student’ has quite often been conceptualized and portrayed in stereotypical ways. This volume rightly breaks the tradition and offers a much more nuanced perspective on issues related to student identity, engagement, voice … and silence, without falling in the trap of arguing that every student is unique. A must-read for anybody interested in listening to what students really say.” —Professor Jeroen Huisman, Ghent University, Belgium
