“When we think about ‘open’ and labor, who do we imagine doing the work? What is the work
we imagine being done? Who pays? Who benefits? (And how?)” - Audrey
Watters<http://hackeducation.com/2018/05/04/cuny-labor-open>
In recent years, the open scholarship movement has gained momentum by aiming to
fundamentally transform how knowledge is created and shared. Making open access, open
data, and open education the default in higher education promises to remove barriers to
learning and make knowledge as broadly accessible as possible. In practice, though, the
rise of open scholarship has resulted in new challenges for practitioners and stakeholders
working within a system in transition.
To what extent do the adoption of open practices and policies in higher education
currently rely on invisible labour? And what may be the impact on the sustainability of
the movement? Who is able to participate? Who may be excluded? How can open practitioners
and stakeholders work together to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion are
prioritized in the design of new and sustainable systems for scholarly research and
teaching?
