- Description
- The name and concept for the Children’s University (CU) originated in the United Kingdom (UK), with the University of Adelaide taking up the national licence for the brand in Australia from 2013, and the University of Newcastle (UON) beginning a sub-licence of the program in 2015. This work was then re-located to within the Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education (CEEHE) at UON and significant efforts have been made to embed a social justice approach to the initiative by bringing research and practice together within critical praxis-based frameworks. This report documents a sustained attempt to conduct evaluation that reflects a commitment to equity in higher education by embedding new layers of practice. The purpose of the report is multi-faceted. Primarily, the work undertaken was to provide opportunities and information to reflect on Children’s University practices. However, in this process, we are keen to acknowledge how in the practices of evaluation voices are inevitably excluded, perspectives misrepresented, and contributions not properly understood or recognised. Therefore, another purpose of the report is to communicate our attempt to move away from evaluation as a form of crude judgment at one moment in time by those in privileged positions to something more akin to curiosity.
