Dear friends and colleagues, We are overjoyed to announce the publication today of Open at the Margins: Critical Perspectives on Open Education<https://press.rebus.community/openatthemargins/>. This curated collection, published by the Rebus Community, includes 38 chapters contributed by 43 diverse authors. The book represents a starting point towards curating and centering marginal voices and non-dominant epistemic stances in open education, an attempt at critical pluriversalism. We hope that the global open education community will find this volume to be a helpful resource and encourage you to share it within your networks. You are invited to join us in celebrating the launch of the new book/collection via a Virtually Connecting Missed Conversation. We hope that many of you will join us in this session, and feel free to share the registration information with anyone else - it is open to all! The session will take place via Zoom on Friday August 21st, at 6pm UTC (see the Virtually Connecting announcement page to see the conversion to your timezone<http://virtuallyconnecting.org/blog/2020/08/17/missed-conversation-launching-open-at-the-margins-book/>). All are welcome to join the session and participate. Here is the link to register: https://aucegypt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUrfuirrT4jGtBvmUsQjEV3Zwah66W00U... The session will be livestreamed and recorded via Virtually Connecting’s YouTube channel, and later embedded in the Virtually Connecting site.
