Keynote: Designing for Justice with Open Educational Practices
Fri May 16, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm GMT
Whereas the adoption of open educational resources can widen equitable access by helping alleviate the financial burden experienced by students, the embrace of broader open educational practices carries the potential to advance additional dimensions of social and epistemic justice. This presentation will focus on practical ways in which educators may approach learning resources, activities, assessments, and policies in service of more inclusive, supportive, and just learning environments.
Speaker bio: Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani is the Vice Provost, Teaching and Learning at Brock University, where he holds faculty appointments in the Departments of Educational Studies and Psychology, directs the Inclusive Education Research Lab, and is affiliated with the Social Justice Research Institute. The architect of Canada’s first zero textbook cost degree programs and a global leader in open education, his scholarship is supported by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada and focuses on open educational practices, student-centered pedagogies, and ethical approaches to educational technology.
