Open Access Educational Resources for Whom and by Whom? Digital Pedagogy and the Digital Humanities at the Crossroads
The DH community has excelled at DH pedagogy, whether it's the collaborative learning of ThatCamps and DHSI to creating open access resources like textbooks and tutorials but who are these openeducational resources for outside of DH? Are we doing enough pedagogical activism outside the field? With the worsening crisis in the humanities, we must ask ourselves what wider roles we might haveto play in not only DH pedagogy but open educational access outside of our community. How can we harness our DH expertise and commitment to community in meaningful ways outside the traditionalacademic frameworks? It is imperative we address these questions not only as they relate to access and the health of the humanities but also the imperatives of equity and justice.
