Discussing her work on theoretical understandings of ‘space’ Dr Bernard brings the student perspective into the conversation. In the conversation, Taryn takes us on a deep dive into stories of her students’ journeys to campus. By placing students behind the camera lens, she brings the students’ perspectives to the fore, having them take ownership of their narratives.
