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.

CFP:What Would Ursula Franklin Say?
Framing technology as social practice & as a system, Franklin encouraged us to see how prescriptive technology affect relations of time and space & individual and collective responsibility. Read more:

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 https://t.co/4xZNKmZxlm #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 https://t.co/ySTUOx5xXE

"Contextualizing openness : situating #openscience" viewed through the lens of diverse cultures, epistemologies, research traditions, disciplinary background, and through critical decolonizing lenses. Book edited by @lesliekwchan and @OCSDNet @IDRC_CRDI https://t.co/ER0kqLvxtd

[Leslie Chan @lesliekwchan]

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. https://t.co/95MnzTElAT

[Leslie Chan @lesliekwchan]

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
