@lesliekwchan Irony of power inequality within academic system. Need to turn the lens back on ourselves. How do academic practices perpetuate inequality? #openconcascadia19

@lesliekwchan We all work for Elsevier & knowledge cartel - our labor is co-opted. Inequality is rampant in academia. Automated processes replicate inequality. Algorithms are not neutral. #openconcascadia19

@lesliekwchan Data fed into algorithms are biased. Our criteria for success biases them further. Companies and AI vetting students & hires. Need to be thoughtful about how our public missions are eroded by technologies. #OpenConCascadia19

@lesliekwchan Ownership of these systems/platforms are by a few wealthy individuals, not elected officials. They are normalizing precarity. #OpenConCascadia19

@lesliekwchan Precarious working conditions for individuals are increasing because of these platforms/gig economy/adjunct status. #openconcascadia19

@lesliekwchan We need to demand disclosure from platforms, such as Coursera. Accreditation means money & profit maximization don't align with community values. Need for Community Benefit Sharing Agreements to articulate our values. #OpenConCascadia19

@lesliekwchan Need to reclaim the stories of those underrepresented and value pluralism. How can we manage knowledge sustainably? Rethink sustainable community engagement. #openconcascadia19

Open Access is mostly only about 1% of people. Need to benefit the neglected populations and address this imbalance. #openconcascadia19

Openness has the possibility to be exploitative and oppressive. Openness was part of manifest destiny as well. #openconcascadia19

Openness is being co-opted by powerful entities and may marginalize these populations even further. #openconcascadia19

Privatization of the internet has become oppressive, and has spawned tools that increase social division. Need community based tools that liberate current infrastructure. #openconcascadia19

Inequalities in Open Access Publishing: wealthy institutions tend to publish open access, which creates inequalities in publishing. Visibility means better ranking and more inequality #openconcascadia19

Disproportionate contributions of just a few institutions (such as Harvard, etc) to faculty. Taking genealogy into account means more inequality. #openconcascadia19

System of power in knowledge production. Much is invisible and hidden. We don't think much about social interoperability. We erase the process in how research is made, which is the most important. #OpenConCascadia19

Openness is being co-opted/exploited by companies for platforms (regulatory capture). These gatekeepers are the real issue, some are very powerful. #openconcascadia19

Academic platforms - fear of missing out drives university membership. Makes the rich richer, the poor poorer. Elsevier is providing university rankings. Conflict of interest! #openconcascadia19

Venture capitalists are there to break things and sell them, not help research. Selling these analytics/metrics as a way of increasing university rankings. Makes researchers devalue local/community issues because they're not as publishable. #OpenConCascadia19

"Monoculture of the mind" - patriarchical system treats diversity as a disease and is a disturbing trend. #OpenConCascadia19

What to do? Community Benefit Sharing Agreements - only build things that benefit a community. Community needs a voice to demand affordable access. We need to do this for knowledge infrastructure. #OpenConCascadia19

Open Science Manifesto video. Need to value justice in open science as well (sorry, I missed the link). #OpenConCascadia19
