This project theorises how undergraduate students ought to be positively transformed as persons by their learning experiences and knowledge acquisition in discipline-based, research-rich teaching.

Key objectives therefore are to conceptualise the relationship between discipline-based research and teaching as one of ontology, identity formation, agency and lifelong learning in order to generate a new understanding of what research might bring to teaching and quality undergraduate student learning. Further, the project seeks to generate a rich, multi-dimensional capability-based perspective on undergraduate learning outcomes, such as lifelong learning and global citizenship, through research-rich teaching.
