Shifting Out of Neutral into OER - KATHERINE PRADT, GC Library Commons

Participating in the Open Knowledge fellowship allowed me to acquire an expansive repertoire of OER and open access recourses. Searching for articles on open educational repositories such as the OpenLibrary Pressbooks, New York Public Library, and the Open Textbook Library, I was able to find texts that were accessible and that centered on the traditions in psychology that have historically been cast to the margins: intersectionality studies, the lived experiences of oppression and power, and research methods that embrace non-neutrality and social justice. Students in my class have engaged with these materials with interest and curiosity.
