Iowa OER
Hello everyone,
The
fall term is well underway, and Iowa OER is offering another webinar!
Please join guest speaker Marco Seiferle-Valencia, Open Education Librarian at the University of Idaho, for "Alternative Open Ontologies - Open Education and “El Museo Indigenista," on October 26 from 1-2 p.m. Central.
Description: What do we lose by situating Open Education as a movement started in the 1990s and 2000s? The radical contributions of People of Color to the broader history of the fight for equitable, impactful, representational education!
Seiferle-Valencia will discuss how emerging, alternative ontologies of Open create space for a broader historicizing of the Open movement. He will also discuss how ideas emerging in Indigenous Open resonate with earlier interventions taken by BIPOC educators to create free AND socially just materials. Using Dr. Lucy Cruz Gajec’s “El Museo Indigenista" as a case study, Seiferle-Valencia will explore how previously unconnected educational activism resonates and rings with many core concepts and themes emerging in Open today, especially in Indigenous Open.
