Informative and inspiring keynote by @drpauliancampbell.bsky.social

#Sociology going beyond how/why things are, and exploring more what we should do about them, really resonates with my PhD (VCSE engagement with mental health research) and my own passion for improving accessibility

Race and Assessment in HE: Webinar - 4 December 2024
On 4 December 2024, QAA hosted the launch of Dr Paul Ian Campbell’s new book 'Race and Assessment in HE: From Conceptualising Barriers to Making Measurable Change'. Building on the successful evaluation of the Racially Inclusive Practice in Assessment Guidance Intervention, part of a QAA-funded Collaborative Enhancement Project, led by the University of Leicester, the book explores how assessment practices can disproportionately affect students of colour and offers robust solutions for practitioners to address these disparities. Find out more about the Collaborative Enhancement Project here: https://www.qaa.ac.uk/membership/collaborative-enhancement-projects/equality-diversity-and-inclusion/evaluation-radical-inclusive-practice-assessment-guidance-interventions-staff-students-experiences-of-assessment-in-he

Sure. It's the Racially Inclusive Practice in Assessment Guidance intervention that I developed and trialled across three UK universities.

Q4. The experience gap for international students in HE assessments are clearly complex and nuanced and extend beyond race - these uneven experiences also manifest within our viva process, too.

This is great work, Katherine. Let's connect and discuss more.

Q4: What a great range of answers!
January 29, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Q3: Many of the staff we spoke to said that they wanted to improve their practice, but often found that while much of the support provided was helpful in starting a conversation, there was little by way of clear guidance for improving practice. This was part of the inspiration for the RIPIAG.

Sorry to hear that, Kate.
January 29, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Hi everyone, thanks for engaging. Your answers are great. I am trying to keep up, but am a slow typer 😞

So, if I don't get back to you, please feel free to DM afterwards to carryone the conversation. Thanks 🙏🏿

cultural resources outside of HE who succeed. These are usually students who are White and middle class
January 29, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Thanks, Kate. This is interesting. In the book, we find that there is no inherent between an assessment type and any one group. But that students perform better in assessments where support is consistent and how to be successful is transparent. Otherwise, it's students who have access to...

Thanks for sharing your paper 🙏🏿

Q1: Really interesting answers. They show the multiplicity of factors that contribute to race based experience gaps in HE. They also show the need for a range of interventions, policy, & support designed to measurably address all of these barriers if we are to successfully eliminate them.

Thanks, mate. It's great to see so many good people here already. ❤️

7/7 It finishes with a Policy Briefs Chapter in the Appendix. This is a concise summary of the key takeaway points of the book and is for policy makers, who might not have time to read the book in full.

6/7 It makes the case for new lenses of enquiry that enable us to move beyond seeing HE as a racially paradoxical space but as 1 characterized by the simultaneous co-existence of processes of racial exclusion and inclusion.

5/7 The afterword reflects on my 12 years as a Black academic. Here, I use my experiences as a race and inclusion leader as an in-road into a larger conversation about the seemingly paradoxical Black experience in HE (one defined by both inclusion and exclusion)

4/7 The 2nd half of the book provides substantiated answers for what practitioners can do 2mitigate these exclusions and the impact these changes have on the race award gap, students of colour’s general experiences of assess' and 4reducing assessment related anxieties for all students.
