A panel of scholars representing both local and global perspectives will engage in a lively conversation about the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems,and the costs of entrenching publicly-funded research activities in profit-seeking business models.

The panel consists of:

• Dr. Janneke Adema, associate professor, Research Centre in Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University
• Dr. Élika Ortega, assistant professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Colorado Boulder.
• Dr. Danny Kingsley, visiting fellow, Australian National University
• Dr. Ayesha Khan, clinical microbiology fellow, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Open Access Week 2023 is an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around community-led infrastructure and publishing. This year’s theme, Community Over Commercialization, encourages a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not.

Zoom information will be provided in the week before the event takes place.
