Indigenous Knowledges and Open Education Symposium Langille, Donna; Lar-Son, Kayla; Isbister, Christian; Charnley, Kerrie; Gillies, Jewell

Description

On October 22, 2021, the Open Education Working Group hosted the inaugural Open Education and Indigenous Knowledges Symposium to learn about and discuss the intersections between open education and Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing. Many conversations around open education (OE) focus on a Eurocentric framework of copyright and intellectual property rights that are sometimes in tension with Indigenous knowledge systems. The goal of the Open Education and Indigenous Knowledges Symposium was to centre Indigenous ways of knowing, culture, experiences, and worldviews within our OE advocacy work. This event was organized by the Students' Union Okanagan and the UBC Okanagan Open Education Working Group in partnership with Indigenous Programs and Services, the Centre for Teaching and Learning, and the UBC Okanagan Library.
