“…Through its growth in providers and then students, the sector aimed to support university attendance for the broader Australian population living across the country, recognising that the likelihood of attending higher education is strongly correlated to proximity to a university. This is still the case today whereby students who live close to a university are more likely to continue through to higher education than those further away (Macken, Hare, & Souter, 2021). As the student body grew so did the governments' interest in the inequities that were becoming more obvious, and categories of disadvantage were created (A Fair Chance for All -Department of Employment, Education and Training, 1990).…”

This position paper sets out the need and rationale for systemic change in STEM learning and teaching as a means of retaining and supporting the success of underrepresented cohorts in STEM. Efforts in recruiting and retaining these students in STEM higher education degrees and subsequently, STEM careers, will continue to be undermined, if we are unable to provide them with a supportive learning environment that recognises and mitigates the inherent disparities that they have historically faced and continue to face. We propose that rather than focusing on an individual equity group and how to best support them, which may lead to perpetuation of a deficit mindset for faculty, we instead propose a project that considers the biases inherent in our current pedagogical practices and the ways in which we can build awareness of the inequities that these entrench. We intend for the outcomes of this project to support the ongoing efforts for individual equity groups as well as mitigating against future inequities by empowering faculty to create inclusive learning experiences.

Amidst the challenges posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, universities grappled with adapting to online service delivery, particularly affecting student placements in programmes requiring practicum experiences. Addressing this, four Australian Universities/Colleges collaboratively initiated the Supporting Placement through online Access and Community Engagement (S.P.A.C.E) Project, a twelve-month research endeavour. This study, based on qualitative data from S.P.A.C.E, reveals that the project’s success in delivering quality placement experiences hinged on three key factors: (1) the creation of a liminal (or third) space, (2) a genuine commitment to critical pedagogy and (3) the intentional use of online technology for an authentic learning experience. Significantly, the findings have implications for the field of social work by challenging assumptions about online learning, influencing social work theory through the exploration of a transformative ‘third space’, enhancing practice through critical pedagogy and suggesting policy directions that support flexible and viable online modalities in social work education. This research contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting online learning as a flexible and effective means for authentic and transformational learning experiences.
