From the Curiosity interns:
Hello Twitter! We hope you are all looking forward to a new year on the Academic Calendar!
We are excited to share what the journal is working on this semester. Keep an eye out for these updates coming soon!
Utah Tech is the country's first open AND polytechnic comprehensive university. With the Curiosity journal and many other initiatives, Utah Tech is at the forefront of the open enrollment, open access, and open educational resources movement. #DiversityandInclusion
Trailblazers, the moment is here! The new Utah Tech University logos are ready. We are excited to share them with you now as we start rebranding the campus to make sure Utah Tech University is ready for students in the fall. Learn more at https://t.co/fyfsRS31mw.
On National Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day this Thursday, please join me for a virtual event to highlight the Not Invisible Act Commission and @Interior’s work to address the MMIP crisis. You can watch the event at https://t.co/rTiHXO57ki at 2:30pm ET.
We hope that this Indigenous studies special issue can help cultivate community in Utah and beyond among students and faculty across universities around these crucial movements that are calling upon us to address.

"This action plan is designed to level the playing field in open science, which UNESCO cites as favoring the wealthiest institutions and regions and therefore reinforcing traditional power structures and inequities in its current form."
"Scholarly publishers of all sizes can realize the principles of the UNESCO Recommendation in three key areas: business models, open access publishing practices, and cultural adaptations." - @lyconrad https://t.co/SvcB2KHRzQ #OpenScience@UNESCO
We're thinking about starting a book reviews section/blog in our journal. Tell us, #AcademicTwitter@AcademicChatter@PhDVoice, what are you reading these days? What's a new book in your discipline? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Tomorrow afternoon at the DSU/Utah Tech Annual Research Symposium, Curiosity editor Ethan Morin @followthecheese is presenting during the poster session on behalf of this semester's editorial team 👏

What roles will art, literature, the sciences, & music play in shaping the work of decolonization?
What roles will digital technologies & social media play in shaping the work of decolonization?
How can older generations listen to & support the next generation, and vice versa?

How can we center Indigenous voices within critical discourses affecting communities in Utah and the Southwest?
How can we foster reconciliatory dialogue between Indigenous communities and settler institutions?
We invite article proposals for a special issue on Indigenous languages, literatures, and cultures broadly defined, with a focus on #Indigenous communities in Utah and the Southwestern United States.

Making Curiosity OA marks DSU’s stance amidst the changing digital landscape regarding academic research. As technology continues to develop, information will become more accessible. Committing to OA places DSU at the forefront of these academic & digital revolutions #OpenAccess
Being OA is an important part of our identity as a journal because we understand that access to information is often just as important as the information itself. If research is a potential basis for direct action in society, people should have access to that research. #OpenAccess
The Curiosity student editorial team has been reflecting on editors-as-leaders. As editors, we want to be: responsive, constructive, encouraging, open minded & enthusiastic. What do you think is an important habit of mind for academic journal editors to practice? #AcademicChatter
