Reviews

""A very wide ranging text on 'student voice' - covering an impressive range of geographical contexts and arenas where such voices can (or should be) heard: in teaching, in governance, and in student activism. A useful resource for postgraduate students and those conducting research into higher education."" --Rachel Brooks, Professor of Sociology and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation, University of Surrey, UK ""This handbook is both timely and current. It provides readers with an up to date review of the field of student voice, both theory and critical examples of change work. Significantly, this volume focuses on an important and often overlooked space and activity in the field-the ways in which young people have, can, and continue to shape higher education. Just as important, the editors bring together a chorus of diverse perspectives and regions around the world into this volume to help readers understand the myriad ways to activate and elevate student agency. Higher educational institutions - by paying close attention to the ways it values and responds to the perspectives, experiences, and leadership of students - enact the very values and behaviors that undergird a healthy and responsive democracy. Thus, this handbook is a critical read for student voice researchers and practitioners, and a roadmap for newcomers to the field."" --Marc Brasof, Associate Professor of Education, Arcadia University, USA
