students as partners, higher education, power, equity, ethicsAbstract
This editorial proposes five interrelated principles for good practice in partnership. Because it is a key force in partnership, power connects the five propositions. My intention is to draw together various threads of research and practice into overarching principles that can guide meaningful, power-sharing, and influential partnership approaches across a diverse range of institutional contexts and Students as Partners approaches.
