Event Summary: In recent years, there has been increasingly widespread, international
attention to “open” in its many forms across the scholarly landscape: open access publishing, open educational resources, open data, and more. Towards an Open Future | 2020 Symposium seeks
to put the theoretical framework of “open” in direct conversation with its widespread praxis. We seek to interrogate the terminology and impact of open education, open scholarship, and open pedagogy through a lens that is expansive and inclusive, bringing
in considerations of labor, representation, decolonial perspectives, and critical pedagogies.
