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 5^th-6^th 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.
