OE Café session 6 - Higher Education for Good - a global call

[Paola]

Dear all,

We are pleased to invite you to our sixth Open Education Café, organised by SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL), on 11 June 2022 at 3-4 PM CEST (check with your timezone). Starting from the Open Textbook “Higher Education for Good - Teaching and Learning Futures”, we bring together editors and authors to discuss and share insights, focusing on the role librarians can play in making HE more effective for the public good.

In this session, we will sit down with:

• @catherinecronin, co-editor of the book with Laura Czerniewicz. She is an independent scholar whose work focuses on critical and social justice approaches in digital, open, and higher education. Catherine has published widely and openly on critical and social justice approaches, digital and open education, and intersectional feminism. Catherine blogs and shares scholarships at http://catherinecronin.net.
• @actualham, director of Learning and Libraries at Plymouth State University, a public university in New Hampshire (USA). You can read more about Robin at https://robinderosa.net/. In HE4Good, she is the author of Chapter 1 - Writing from the wreckage: Austerity and the public university.
• @CarolineKuhn, senior lecturer based at the School of Education at Bath Spa University (UK). Her research focuses on the intersection of sociology, philosophy, technology, and education. In HE4Good, she is the co-author of Chapter 21. Critical data literacies for good | Open Book Publishers, together with @Jpete and Juliana Raffaghelli.

The floor will be open for the audience to ask questions and engage in the discussion directly with our experts.

This event is the sixth in the series of Open Education Cafés and the first event of a new series that merges the Cafés with the series “Pass the Open Education Expert Baton”. In this new series, we bring multiple and diverse expert perspectives on the good that Open Education can do worldwide.

Stay tuned for more sessions this year.

We hope you can make it, and we encourage you to pass this invitation on to your colleagues!
