What is SERGE?
SERGE is a student engagement research group. We showcase, nurture and develop quality research being undertaken on all types of student engagement, across all disciplines. Originally founded in the Otago Business School at the University of Otago, SERGE has grown in momentum and now has domestic and international members and spans a wide range of disciplines.
Who is SERGE?
Founders
SERGE was founded by Dr Sarah Carr and Nicola Beatson of the Otago Business School. Many academics, from a variety of disciplines undertake research on student engagement. Sarah and Nicola saw an opportunity to bring academics together to share best practice on doing research in this important area. This interdisciplinary approach, allows academics from across subjects to share ideas, methods, outcomes and to be able to connect with other like-minded researchers in future projects.
