Hi everyone,
Really sorry for this, but it seems that there was a full-stop after one of the links in the CfP, which meant that they've not been accessible! The email is now re-sent with working links. It seems like there might be an issue if you click on them, but if they're copied and pasted it works.
“PALS/SI-PASS: The Leader Experience”
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, 5th-6th June 2023
Keynote speaker: Linnea Wallen (Lecturer in Sociology)
Individual paper, panel and workshop contributions are welcomed for ‘PALS/SI-PASS: The Leader Experience’ to be held in-person at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, on June 5th-6th 2023. This conference explores the uses and impact of academic peer learning and support in Higher Education contexts, with a specific focus on leader experiences.
The SI-PASS/PAL model is a globally established provision that aims to support students throughout their educational experience. A growing body of literature acknowledges the impact of Peer Assisted Learning on students’ social and academic experiences, particularly in relation to Widening Participation (WP) and student retention. In line with PAL's focus on WP, and the centrality of student perspectives and experiences, the conference organisers welcome contributions from student leaders that explore Peer Assisted Learning provision within Higher Education. We invite contributions in the format of presentations, workshops, or posters, on a range of topics including but not limited to:
· Peer Assisted Learning and student wellbeing
* Equality, diversity and inclusion in Peer Learning contexts
* Managing change, in times of COVID-19 and/or the aftermath
· Division/field-specific peer learning practices (e.g., Peer Learning in the Arts and Humanities; Peer Learning in the Social and/or Life Sciences)
· Transferrable skills for career progression
· Peer Assisted Learning and integration into Higher Education
· Peer Assisted learning and Widening Participation
· Impact of leadership on personal development
· Impact of peer learning on academic success
· Students as partners: coordinator support
Please submit your proposal abstracts of up to 250 words and a bio of up to 100 wordsby 10th April 2023 by filling out the following form: https://forms.gle/dutZ3FT2MtSQfL7x8
Any questions can be directed to pals(a)qmu.ac.uk<mailto:pals@qmu.ac.uk>. Please also register your interest here: https://forms.gle/SV9nHzEH3TjSqcnr5
The formal registration will be sent out at a later date. We very much look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to Queen Margaret University, Scotland!

Hello,
At the Middle East Technical University (Cyprus Campus) we have been doing a study on implementing SI to support English (or second) language learning/learners. We are wondering if there are any (current/previous) SI implementations of this kind elsewhere? Any insights or leads will be greatly appreciated!
Furthermore, we are wondering if there are any SI programs that instead of employing Leaders run the program within the scope of a course (e.g., Community Service Practice, Service Learning, Practicum, Internship, etc.)?
