I’m late to the party - but the 2023 Summer Book Club Title Announced! and this year’s selection is “OERigin Stories: Pathways to the Open Movement” (CC-BY-SA) by Ursula Pike. This book is a retelling of the personal and professional experiences of six women of color who have been strong advocates and leaders in the Open Education Movement.
- Tonja R. Conerly, Sociology Professor at San Jacinto College; member of the American Association of Blacks in Higher Education; founder of the Houston Area OER Consortium (HAOER); and Executive Council emeritus of CCCOER
- Angela DeBarger, Program Officer for Education, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
- Liliana Diaz Solodukhin, Policy Analyst, Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE)
- Shinta Hernandez, Department Chair, Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice, Montgomery College; and Executive Council member of CCCOER
- Jessie Loyer, Librarian, Mount Royal University
- Ariana Santiago, Open Educational Resources Coordinator, M.D. Anderson Library, University of Houston
I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with a few of these women, and I’m looking forward to reading their stories.
