Vol. 7 No. 4 (2025): Reimagined Futures: Interpreting Pedagogy through the Student Voice in Higher Education [Special Issue]

This Special Edition aims to extend and contribute to our understanding of the engagement with the student voice in higher education.  It brings together a collection of papers that evidence the editors’ shared commitment to student voice, partnership, and agency in higher education. Under the theme Reimagined Futures: Interpreting Pedagogy through the Student Voice in Higher Education, the contributions explore how pedagogic practice can be developed, enriched, and reimagined when students are positioned not as passive recipients of knowledge, but as partners, co-creators, and collaborators in learning, teaching, and research.

Taken together, the contributions affirm the student voice as a generative force in higher education pedagogy. Whether enacted through partnership, participatory design, co-research, or peer collaboration, these practices reframe education as a relational, ethical, and future-facing endeavour. Through this autoethnographic editorial, we situate these papers within our own journeys and invite readers to consider how reimagined pedagogies—grounded in mutuality and care—might shape more inclusive and hopeful futures for higher education.
