MYFest22: Decolonizing Open Education: Ethics, Epistemology, Equity, and Power
Channel: Virtually Connecting & Equity Unbound
Date: 2022-06-26

On 8 June 2022, MYFest22 Open Learning Journey hosts Remi Kalir and Nate Angell welcomed Open at the Margins contributor Dr. Taskeen Adam, Associate Manager with Open Development & Education and a Senior Research Lead at EdTech Hub, to discuss her work on the ways in which open educational practices and tools intersect with colonial power structures and mindsets and how decolonizing views change how we think about opening teaching and learning. Participants also had the opportunity to kick off a conversation in the margins of a reading coauthored by Dr. Adam, Breaking Open: Ethics, Epistemology, Equity, and Power, using social annotation to continue the discussion beyond the live session.
