| Abstract | When I first read the Student Voice Revolution, I knew immediately that I wanted to share this book with the wider students-as-partners and student engagement community. Why? Because I felt Adam Fletcher’s handbook added, in meaningful ways, to an already rich array of theoretical arguments and practical guides produced by scholars and practitioners in Canada (Fullan, 1991; Levin, 1994, 2000), the United Kingdom(Fielding, 2004; Rudduck and Demetriou, 2003), and the United States (Cook-Sather, 2009; Mitra, 2006, 2007)–scholarship focused on recognizing and valuing student voice. In building on his extensive experience in schools, youth action, and more recently, higher education, Fletcher draws on existing literature to offer structures and approaches for supporting meaningful student involvement that can illuminate students-as-partners efforts. While there is a substantial body of work on student voice across all education levels (Bourke & Loveridge, 2018; Czerniawski & Kidd, 2011; Lansdown, 2011), I would argue this book offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of key issues crucial for successful partnership work in higher education. |
