Equity Statement

As members of the Pedagogy Opened: Innovative Theory and Practice advisory board, we are committed to dismantling systems of supremacy, power, and privilege. By beginning with equity, we can enable action for stronger diversity, inclusion, and accessibility practices. As such, we recognize the systems, structures, policies, and practices that create barriers for marginalized populations. With this recognition, we attempt to generate transformational change through the adherence of the following values:

In this series, we advocate for open pedagogy that centers the voices of students and educators who are historically disenfranchised and continue to be marginalized in higher education and the academic publication industry. To do this, we are committed to work toward diverse representation among our contributors and reviewers among all dimensions of diversity including racial and ethnic identities, Indigenous peoples, languages, geographic locations, ages, persons with disabilities, gender identities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and lived experiences¹. This work requires that we question biases, work to dismantle various forms of suppression, and educate ourselves through self-awareness and life-long learning. We hope that our efforts will empower our stakeholders to bring their whole, true, and authentic selves into their work.

Our goal is to produce a publication that not only includes but prioritizes the voices of those historically and currently marginalized by higher education, as well as celebrating the diversity of those voices. Through these values, intentional design, and relationship building, we aim to open and improve educational, economic, and social benefits across open education.
