    It's problematic that we have so much jargon in but this image does a great job of explaining all the terms one might come across when publishing with some publishers.

    Interesting keynote by at . There are many structural barriers to knowledge production, some are visible (e.g. APCs) but many are less visible

    . on Whiteness (nonverbatim): Whiteness is not about skin color. It is about a set of norms and hegemonics (initially codified by White people) that can be structuring. 🚨 A lot of our training is centered on Whiteness.

    "who writes the code writes the rules" Leslie mentions the huge talent in young programmers in Nairobi. Joy says yes, there is a huge wealth in talent but what hampers it is the lack of infrastructure

    Revisiting the beautiful and important zine , thanks to 's keynote at Read the full version: Graphic from the zine👆

    Transcription Body: If our collective action could overthrow profit-seeking publishers and put their systems in the hands of non-profit actors, would the greater world be much different? We suspect not. If instead, we see the problems of privatized knowledge production as part of broader systems, and do our work in SOLIDARITY with global movements against extractive economies, WE MIGHT MAKE THE WORLD WE WANT. This puts our action is solidarity with movements that seek JUSTICE, EQUITY, SOVEREIGNTY, AND AUTONOMY. THE WORK OF OPEN MUST INCLUDE organizing OURSELVES and OUR POWER, identifying COMMON STRUGGLES against the system and CULTIVATING CRITICAL HOPE, CONNECTING to broader movements and pooling our SOCIAL CAPITAL, RECLAIMING OUR SPACES for AUTONOMY Visual Description Four arms interlocked in the center of the page with the body text (see transcription) divided into the four quadrants of the page; lower case and upper case text is interspersed

    Heard our latest podcast episode yet? Don't miss share why diversity & unconscious bias trainings are insufficient interventions for the multiple systems of oppression embedded in academia. Policy & procedures must also be addressed.

    Unsettling Knowledge Inequities Podcast "People sometimes focus on diversity trainings or unconscious bias trainings at universities. And they don't really work because it's not enough... because there's an entire system in place. And so what we think about is integrating these with policy and procedure changes, about the ways that we recruit and retain students and faculty, and the ways that we've institutionalized racism, as well as other systems of oppression, like classism, into those metrics." - Dr. Antoinette Foster, Director of Community Transformation.

    Often times in research, the focus is on the final output. In our latest episode, hear from formerly with share why co-creating the conditions for a meaningful process of participatory knowledge creation is vital to knowledge equity. 🎙️

    Unsettling Knowledge Inequities Podcast Quote: "[From OCSDNet], I learned that knowledge equity is more about exploring the process of collaborating and exchanging different forms of knowledge, and making sure that there are conditions for meaningful interaction. [Instead of focusing on] the end result, [we ask] “what are the conditions of the process and who is really participating in a meaningful way?” - Denisse Alrbornoz, MA Candidate, Digital Technologies & Policy, University of College London S2E5: Early Career Researchers: Open Science & Activism
