This summer, join OEGlobal’s CCCOER Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee’s summer book club–with a new twist.

This year’s series features a curated selection of academic articles exploring Global Perspectives on Open Education, Open Pedagogy, and the evolving intersections of Accessibility and AI. Together, these themes invite participants to critically examine how openness can be more inclusive, equitable, and responsive to diverse learner experiences.

Sessions will be on the following dates at 14:00 PM CDT:

• May 28 – Global Perspectives on Open Education [Completed; summary in process] 
• June 11 - Moved to July 23
• June 25 – Accessibility and AI
• July 23 – Open Pedagogy

Whether you’re looking to challenge your perspectives, deepen your practice, or connect with colleagues across the open education community, this book club offers a flexible, engaging space to learn together. If you haven’t participated in one of our book clubs before, please see the EDI Book Club Community Norms.

In order to create a safe/brave space, these sessions will not be recorded, but an AI created summary of main points will be created and shared with registrants. No names or other identifying details will be shared.
