Much of the evidence that attests to the Fellow’s engagement in inter<strong>national</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

trans-disciplinary benchmarking in relation to UG Psychology education with<br />

particular focus on approaches to the development <strong>and</strong> assessment of PL <strong>and</strong> GC is<br />

outlined in DO1 <strong>and</strong> DO3 above. However, in addition to this, it is worth noting that<br />

the Fellow:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

has provided a keynote address on these issues at the 2011 ICTP meeting<br />

continues to receive invitations to speak at inter<strong>national</strong> <strong>and</strong> trans-disciplinary<br />

meetings on these topics (e.g, ISANA in December 2012)<br />

has been invited to join established (e.g., Psychology Learning <strong>and</strong> Teaching)<br />

<strong>and</strong> new (e.g., Teaching <strong>and</strong> Learning Inquiry: The ISSOTL Journal) editorial<br />

boards that have an interest in publications relevant to the development <strong>and</strong><br />

assessment of Psychological Literacy <strong>and</strong> Global Citizenship.<br />

Finding: The available evidence suggests that DO 12 has been realised.<br />

5.1.13 Desired Outcome 13: Development <strong>and</strong> support of local <strong>and</strong> <strong>national</strong><br />

trans-disciplinary networks whose focus is <strong>global</strong> education <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

Achievements:<br />

the establishment of a Global Citizenship @ UNSW Community of Practice<br />

the organisation <strong>and</strong> facilitation of a workshop on Global Citizenship convened<br />

by A/Professor Betty Leask from the University of South Australia<br />

the leadership of the Academic Board Global Education Working Group at<br />

UNSW, which has developed an issues paper to support policy development <strong>for</strong><br />

Global Education, as well as advancing engagement with U21<br />

the organization <strong>and</strong> facilitation of a <strong>national</strong> ALTC Global Citizenship Workshop<br />

which brought together educators from universities across the country to discuss<br />

<strong>and</strong> explore the concept of, <strong>and</strong> issues associated with Global Citizenship.<br />

Finding: The available evidence suggests that while much of the work<br />

undertaken as part of the Fellowship in respect of DO 12 has been focused on<br />

local initiatives <strong>and</strong> support, the overall desired outcome has been achieved.<br />

5.2. In Relation to Any Unintended Outcomes of the Fellowship<br />

There were no “out of character” unintended outcomes of this Fellowship. For<br />

example, the design <strong>and</strong> implementation of a capstone course <strong>for</strong> psychology major<br />

students at UNSW was not specified in the original Fellowship application; however<br />

this outcome fits with the specified aims, as it it provided a demonstration of the<br />

pedagogy based on <strong>psychological</strong> <strong>literacy</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>citizenship</strong>, <strong>and</strong> raised<br />
