It was sure a pleasure attending the post-defence presentation & celebration of Dr. Angela Okune @Honoluluskye! Can't wait to read the entire thesis! Kudos to Drs. Kim Fortune and Mike Fortune, Angela's thesis supervisors for creating such an open & inclusive intellectual space.

Finally, @lesliekwchan invited us to reconsider the uncritical acceptance of openness, proposing there is no universal concept of ‘open’-the term doesn't address how knowledge is created and circulated in different communities doi.org/10.23636/1233 #OpenEngaged2020 #OpenAccess

Scientific racism distorts what is supposed to be a pure and unbiased enterprise. @lesliekwchan led by the @KnowEquityLab at #UTSC will be home to dozens of collaborations that will address this growing problem. #UofT bit.ly/3mRoNpF

Thanks for flagging this. The volume is intended to stimulate debates on the growing open science universalism & top down policy mandates. Diverse, local perspectives & infrastructures are crucial or else we risk furthering the inequities of the current global knowledge systems.

We agree with China recommendation to #Plan_S about the need to provide and encourage financial support for no-fee OA journals...to avoid the perverse effect of giving no-fee journals an incentive to start charging fees

"To diversify our curriculum is to challenge power relations and call for deeper thinking about the content of our courses and how we teach them" The decolonising agenda in HE is much more complex than we think. theguardian.com/education/20…

A very sensible article on why "Open Science Isn't Always Open to All Scientists"- "Open science is built on the same foundation as science itself, and inherits many systematic barriers that already exist in mainstream science." #openscience

I just found a striking example for #openaccess #research #transparency, #opendata that schould be keept in mind: Our #science tific #literature #database! THX @OCSDNet (and @zotero) for your #openscience #repository and #postcolonial #power perspective zotero.org/groups/261296/ocs…

'How will #openscience influence power relations in research?' asks @paulwouters. The current model is not leading to more inclusive practices, according to @OCSDNet #STMinnovations #STMweek

No olvidar: "los datos abiertos son la nueva apropiación de tierras" @lesliekwchan y @NeelieKroesEU “los datos son el nuevo petróleo”. Es lo que explica la migración de los monopolios editoriales de empresas de contenido a análisis de datos. Una nueva forma de extracción.

¡CLARO! "Es cada vez más claro que agregar apertura a un sistema asimétrico y altamente desigual simplemente amplifica la brecha y otorga poder a los ya poderosos." Totalmente de acuerdo @lesliekwchan, aunque se ha olvidado totalmente.
