What happens in the brave spaces of pedagogical partnership? This collection includes ten chapters in which faculty-student pairs, or teams, tell their own stories of partnership in various contexts, including individual undergraduate courses across the disciplines, a graduate medical school, and institution-wide programs. The colleges and universities in which these stories unfold are small and large, public and private, and research- and teaching-focused institutions situated in Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada, England, Hong Kong, Israel, Malaysia, Pakistan, and various regions of the United States. Each story reveals how the brave spaces of student-faculty partnership foster mindsets and practices that support co-creation of learning and teaching experiences that strive to be equitable, engaging, and empowering. These stories are bookended by an introduction that defines terms, introduces the editors, and provides an overview of the chapters, and by a final chapter that explores examples of courage, confidence, and capacity that recur across stories chapter authors tell.
Alison Cook-Sather is director of the Teaching and Learning Institute at Bryn Mawr College. Chanelle E. Wilson is lecturer at Bryn Mawr College.

This volume makes a vital contribution to the literature on student-faculty partnership by weaving together rich, reflective narratives that showcase and analyse how partnership is lived and experienced by individuals in a diverse array of institutional, cultural, and national contexts. The student and faculty contributors write with honesty and insight, clearly reflecting the courage, confidence, and capacity highlighted by Cook-Sather and Wilson in their framing chapters, and sharing experiences and advice that will be of interest to new and experienced partnership practitioners alike. -- Elizabeth Marquis, McMaster University
