Monday Apr 24, 2017 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Chanin (B126 HW)	Knowledge Without Walls: The ethos of openness in research and teaching Presenter(s): Shelly Eversley (English & Women’s Studies, Baruch College), Matthew K. Gold (English & Digital Humanities, CUNY GC), Michael Smith (Communications Technology, York College) ACERT is pleased to host three CUNY colleagues whose work embodies the spirit of openness in scholarship and teaching. “Open” is a multivalent and emerging concept in scholarship and teaching. Openness, in this sense might point to: authors’ protection of readers’ right to share work via a Creative Commons license; Web 2.0 affordances that invite readers to comment or annotate critical texts; teachers’ creation of free course materials to replace expensive textbooks and thus make education more accessible for economically burdened students.
