CfP: Open Science and Knowledge Justice: How It Started – How It’s Going? | GenR

A GenR theme: Open Science and Knowledge Justice – announcement and call for contributions (April ‘21).

GenR is running a theme on the topic of Open Science and Knowledge Justice: inequality, equality, equity, and justice for engaging with knowledge. The presentation of Open Science as being about the technical opening of the research cycle – data, literature, open standards, PIDs, etc. – still stands, but now the discourse window has moved on and social change is in ascendance. In the theme ‘Knowledge Justice’ we want to look at the programmes that are putting social change into action and what are the ideas to embrace complexity and the messy world of enacting Open Science and Knowledge Justice.

For the theme we will take a broad view on Knowledge Justice – but a special interest will be in questions relating to the Global South and establishing global parity in the knowledge systems of Open Science.
