About the Summit

Keynote Address

Interrogating Access: 

Privacy, Equity & Open Education

Dr. Chris Gilliard, Professor of English and Rhetoric, Macomb Community College ; Faculty, 2018 Digital Pedagogy Lab, University of Mary Washington

The advantages of Open Educational Resources often conceal risks, particularly highly consequential risks to the privacy of working class students, students of color, and others from the margins of the student population. Exposing the vulnerabilities of OER to misuse in the contemporary world of surveillance capitalism not only reshapes our understanding of the movement itself, but also serves as a case study of the larger dangers of of “Edtech.”
