SUMMARY:Tension and Risk in Open Scholarship: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Spurred by the need to make research and education accessi
 ble to all, the open movement has gained ground as the Internet evolve
 d to enable easy sharing of different forms of media and scholarship. 
 Open practices are enabling faculty, staff and students at educational
  institutions in British Columbia and beyond to reduce barriers to res
 earch and education by opening their classrooms, incorporating new res
 ources and perspectives, broadly sharing their data, and contributing 
 to public knowledge. But the adoption of open scholarship cannot be as
 sumed to free of biases and conflicts, and the impacts of open practic
 es can differ depending on the context of those practices. Unaddressed
  tensions caused by “openness” can lead scholars, students, and co
 mmunity members to feel alienated, exploited, or unheard. Unexamined r
 isks can lead to unintended outcomes for any open endeavours. \nWithi
 n these intersections lies an opportunity for open scholarship: to dir
 ectly examine and acknowledge the tensions and risks inherent in openn
 ess, and to thereby create a space in which dialogue is generated and 
 understanding of openness is deepened.  \nPlease join BCIT, SFU and 
 UBC in celebrating International Open Access Week for a panel that exa
 mines the threads running through different tensions in the open movem
 ents, including: \n\nIndigenous & Traditional Knowledge: Open scholar
 ship may not be respectful of community authority, ownership, and norm
 s of knowledge sharing.\nEthics and Privacy: Open scholarship may comp
 licate the impacts of human participants in research, retrospective di
 gitization, and students’ right to privacy.\nStudent-faculty relatio
 nships: Affordability conversations around open educational resources 
 may lead to tensions around faculty motivation to provide the best lea
 rning resources. Open pedagogies can create risks for students: are th
 ey supported and what rights do they have in terms of their privacy, c
 opyright, and consent?\nAccessibility and inclusivity: Open practices 
 may lead to digital redlining for individuals and communities and may 
 not be truly accessible for everyone.\nInstructor-Institution relation
 ships: Open practices may allow the appropriation of instructors’ an
 d adjuncts’ work putting their value at risk.\n\nFeatured speakers i
