  • Why open?
  • Open by/for whom?
  • Whose interests are served?
  • Has the open agenda been sold out?
• The geopolitics of open education, bringing open in from the periphery
• The open ecosystem: How is open education part of the broader ecosystem of “opens”?
• What does it mean to illuminate open by considering context?
• How can historical perspectives contribute to understanding the issues we face in the open education movement today?
• Links between critical digital literacies, critical data literacies, and open
