| Abstract | Building on three interconnected fields of inquiry, the scholarship of engagement, student leadership development and transformative learning theory, this thesis addresses an extant gap in knowledge pertaining to how universities can implement ethically accountable and applicable methods of student leadership development in a time of accelerating change. This is achieved through the construction of an evidence-based conceptualisation of a transformative approach to student leadership development for Australian higher education. The research focused on a specific leadership education event, the National Student Leadership Forum (NSLF), and used purposive sampling to investigate the transformative experience of 20 former-student delegates at these events between 1998 to 2018. Through the process of theory building and theory testing, this study resulted in contributions to philosophical, theoretical, methodological, policy and practical knowledge for the consideration of Australian universities. |
