Open Publishing (virtual)
Scholarship is a conversation, but the conventional for-profit journal publishing model restricts participation to those who can afford costly subscriptions. The Open Access movement aims to revolutionize research advancement by dismantling paywalls and re-empowering authors. Discover how you can be (and if you plan to write a thesis or dissertation, will be!) a part of the effort to create a more equitable and impactful scholarly communications ecosystem. Led by Liz Bedford.

Open Scholarship Commons Tour (in-person/hybrid)
What exactly is the Open Scholarship Commons? The OSC is an interdisciplinary set of spaces and services intended to advance open, public, and emerging forms of scholarship. It provides opportunities for scholars, creators, and learners from diverse backgrounds to learn from each other and build the skills necessary to co-create, share, translate, and make the impact of their research visible to the world. Join us to learn more about the mission and services of this new experimental space.

Are you considering teaching in your future? Have plans to work as a Teaching Assistant while in your UW grad program?

This session will provide you with an introduction to Open Education, which encompasses resources, tools and practices that are free of cost and openly licensed so that they can be re-used and repurposed by others. We’ll learn about Creative Commons licensing and publishing tools that you can utilize for sharing teaching materials during and post-grad school, as well as online repositories for finding paywall-free educational materials. We’ll also explore examples of Open Educational Resources created by UW grad students. All GSRI participants are welcome to attend!
