This interactive panel will feature authors of three diverse chapters from the open collection, Higher Education for Good: Teaching and Learning Futures. Collectively, the panel will share insights on their authoring processes, open collaboration, participation in the authors’ community, and the value of coalition-building with diverse voices across global higher education to create more hopeful futures. The discussion will draw upon common themes across the chapters: reimagining teaching and learning, critical approaches, and open practice as a force for change. The three chapters represented in the panel draw on lived experience from North American, European, and African perspectives, mirroring the global breadth of the wider collection. This session is designed as a discursive space for the panelists to share their unique experiences as authors, collaborators, and community-members in the hopes of inspiring others to adopt similar methods of open collaboration and authoring.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Reflect on open authoring, collaboration, and the peer review process from a variety of diverse perspectives
- Compare and contrast the common themes and challenges that prevail in higher education across the globe
- Assess the challenges and opportunities of openly collaborating within wider networks
