  4. In this study, we consider the actual crisis of #publictrust in the #scientificsystem as a symptom of its lack of
    #sustainability and argue that #societalimpact should be measured and understood not
    exclusively in terms of the #usefulness of science to solve complex social problems, but also in
    terms of its capability to display and communicate its value to #differentaudiences.

  9. A lot of Ukrainian internet ressources are not or not reliably accessible. We cannot praise the @internetarchive enough for providing at least a copy of A LOT of these websites.

    It's absolutely a good idea to give some money for efforts that allow us to access these resources.

  10. @torsten_torsten @actualham @reclaimhosting Glad you picked up on #EpistemicJustice as it’s a core focus, for me. For instance, here: youtube.com/watch?v=-Bp0SMk138

    Simply, I’m seeking adequate answers to the following question:

    > Who decides what counts as knowledge worthy of being learnt, shared, and taught?

    It does stem from egregious cases of #EpistemicInjustice. Silenced voices which matter more than the power afforded those with pulpits. If we want to solve #WickedProblems, that is.

  11. This BBC conversation about (early) modernists, homelessness, and exile might interest diverse people in our network. For instance, @actualham might appreciate the link between material conditions and #EpistemicJustice. @reclaimhosting might get something out of the Virginia Woolf reference #privilege.
    Personally? I find that this #PoMo era can benefit from more discussion about some Anglocentric intellectual histories.

  12. @weblearning As for #GlobalSouth, there's an emerging trend by scholars there who speak up, within the field of #OpenEducation more widely (usually beyond #OERs). Some of those voices were (all-too-briefly) heard during the conf @oeglobal in Nantes. And it goes all the way to #EpistemicJustice.
    As with the two-pronged approach of #Decolonization and #Indigenization or with #a11y advocates' #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs, we have diverse roles. Mine is closer to allyship than asking their questions.

  13. Just learnt about a bilingual (ES/FR) association working towards #DecolonizingKnowledge.

    noircirwikipedia.org/fr/accuei

    Sounds like they're active in the French-speaking part of Switzerland as well as in Guyana.
    People in #OpenEducation who care about #EpistemicJustice have a role to play in making sure that diverse knowledges are learnt. When we talk about going beyond #OERs, that's part of what we mean.

    #NoircirWikipédia / #EnnegreciendoWikipédia

  14. Thanks @cogdog for introducing all of us @oeglobal to the #EpistemicJustice work @whoseknowledge.

    As someone whose knowledge is widely represented, I feel like I'm listening in a very important conversation about concrete action which will have a deeply positive impact on our work in #OpenEducation. Whether it's about revising #OERs or fighting #HiddenCurricula.

    Centring marginalized voices may not always produce harmony. It's always important.

  15. Hey, #OER folks, at #OER23 or not... Might the #HiveMind produce a list?

    Was asked for key examples of #OERs which stood the test of time: being frequently updated, adapted in different contexts. My first reflex would be the Anthology began @actualham with learners. Then, thinking about the whole of #ds106 as an "integrative OER", @ds106radio or just in everything which has happened through this.
    Would be keenly interested in examples from the so-called #GlobalSouth.
    Because #EpistemicJustice

  16. @sleslie @Ammienoot One way to put it is that, compared with the #ADDIE model (which tends to dominate), it's a direct feedback loop with learners involved directly. Easy to explain in the case of public servants contributing to a course on procurement, for instance.
    It also goes well with the #decolonization required for #EpistemicJustice. Instead of assessing people's needs based on your own knowledge system, you sit down and co-design.

  17. I mean… What’s next? Some #Academics with bloated #HFactor will start addressing the “Matthew Effect” of the #CitationImpact part of #PublishOrPerish? And advocate for more appropriate measures of #Scholarship including #SocialImpact and #EpistemicJustice?

    Sounds unlikely.

  18. New paper out! #EpistemicJustice #Biocolonialism #Bioeconomy #IndigenousKnowledge #Bioepistemicide #Amazon #SettlerColonialism

    t.co/BNqG2il3li
    • Bioeconomy may drive knowledge appropriation that further settler colonialism.
    • Addressing the colonial engagements is central to avoid epistemicide.
    ...
    Forms of knowledge that differ from dominant ‘Western’ knowledge are either not recognized, or are misused for land reoccupation and knowledge appropriation.

  19. Good timing for this #OER about reflexive approaches to OER creation with #JEDI in mind (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion).
    More people have been inquiring about #EDI in #OpenEducation. Plus, the move to #EpistemicJustice needs this type of shift. Might interest participants in that #AACU webinar, the other day.

  20. Question at the very end of #AACU webinar on #OER to advance "DEI" (or JEDI: Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion)...
    "Will someone on the panel address shortcomings of OERs for this work?"

    Stay tuned?

  21. The IPCC reports are the main source of collated scientific evidence of climate change, its impacts, and possible solutions. These reports inform national policymaking and the international climate change regime. As such, it's so important to consider how the reports are made and who gets to contribute to these reports. Carbon Brief has conducted an analysis of the diversity of authors of the IPCC and how they have changed over time. While there has been an increase in women authors and authors from the Global South, men and authors from the Global North still dominate many of the reports. This analysis is an important contribution to revealing epistemic justice concerns and the gaps we still need to overcome.

  22. @weblearning @oeglobal There was a brief discussion of global inequalities during Colin de la Higuera's discussion of LLMs with the OEG Francophone group. Apart from the access divide, there's an obvious bias in terms of whose content dominates. And that part's different from the frequently-discussed biases. It's more about #EpistemicJustice than about #CognitiveBiases, though they're deeply connected.

  23. @mathieugp @michelbriand Dans les #OER hors #RELfr, des initiatives très inspirantes viennent du Sud. #OELATAM, par exemple.
    oelatam.org
    Ou ce qui se passe en Afrique du Sud, en Nouvelle-Zélande, etc.
    Pendant la conférence #OpenEducationGlobal, à Nantes, il y avait des appels à considérer les rapports Sud-Nord d’une nouvelle façon, moins axée sur la dynamique «nous créons des REL que vous adoptez» et plus sur la #JusticeÉpistémique et les partenariats forts. #EpistemicJustice
