Author Biography

Liz Dunne, University of Winchester

Elisabeth Dunne’s career has been devoted to the promotion of innovation and strategic development in education, always at the cutting-edge of change. As Senior Research Fellow in Education at the University of Exeter, she coordinated and directed many major research, development and evaluation projects of national interest on aspects of learning and teaching. She continues to lead research with a major focus on the student experience and on the development of evidence-based practice. She is well known for developing the ‘Students as Change Agents’ initiative, which now pervades institutional thinking, enabling students to take leadership roles in ensuring institutional quality and enhancement. The change agents’ philosophy has been embedded into numerous externally-funded projects, such as Reciprocal Shadowing, Research Scholarship through Digital Literacy, Assessment Design (with students working with academics and employers to re-design assessments), Embedding Environmental Sustainability, and Technology Champions. She has written many books and articles and given presentations across the world; she is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
