Universities make concerted choices about the content they put on their websites - it is their face to the world 🌍 In our new paper led by @katrinamcchesney.bsky.social, we looked to see how parents are positioned in institutional websites in Australia and New Zealand. doi.org/10.1007/s107...
White text on green background, a snip from a published paper. Text reads "Where are all the parents? An analysis of visibility, representation, and information for parents on university websites", shows that the article was published 6 Nov 2025, in Higher Education. Published: 06 November 2025
