Dr Camille B. Kandiko joined King's Learning Institute as a Research Associate in 2008. She is working on KCL curriculum initiatives through The King’s Experience, including developing College-wide interdisciplinary modules. Her research focuses on international and comparative higher education, with areas of interest in curriculum and the student experience, interdisciplinarity, PhD supervision, and developing the use of concept mapping in higher education.
Camille holds a first degree in English and Classics from Cornell University (USA) and a Masters degree in Higher Education Administration from The University of Pennsylvania (USA). She was awarded her PhD by Indiana University (USA) in 2007; her thesis title was Student Engagement in Canada and the U.S. in an Era of Globalization. Before taking up her post at the Institute, she was project associate at IU working on the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).
Research- King's Research Profile
My current research interests are in international and comparative dimensions of Higher Education, the student experience and curriculum change; enhancement of PhD supervision; and academic motivation. Supporting this research are notions of networks in higher education; the role of student engagement in the student experience and the environment for learning; and intersectionality as a methodological approach to exploring student and academic identities.
