SUMMARY:Can We Decolonize Open? An Open Access Week Event
DESCRIPTION:Join Langara, Kwantlen, BCIT, SFU, and UBC for an exciting
  half-day celebration of Open Access Week. This year’s theme from SP
 ARC is Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge. Our keynote speaker, J
 essie Loyer, will explore this question alongside participants through
  the lens of decolonization. The conversation will continue with local
  panelists engaged in open knowledge work.\nSummary of Jessie’s talk
  Sometimes when folks are in the midst of a monumental, feel-good shif
 t, they fail to realize who has been excluded from that space. Librari
 ans and scholars have been advocating the ideals of open access for ma
 ny years and have seen the exciting changes the movement creates for p
 ublic knowledge. Yet we rarely think about whose voices are absent and
  the structures of power that limit this project. Together, we’ll qu
 ery our positionality in these spaces, and consider how the politics o
 f refusal and an ethic of care might intersect to complicate the open 
 access movement, potentially creating futurities of reciprocity. If re
 thought as a tool of resurgence, open access can support justice.\n\nF
