Reflecting on #OpenFest25, I'm grateful to the presenters (Almarzouq, Bowie, Sanders) who reminded us that openness is a social practice > we must not lose sight of this. E.g. open practices per se cannot dismantle the humanities' centrality in the ideological scaffolding of apartheid and genocide 👇
I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻

This was great from @batoolmm.bsky.social - not often you see discussion of open science explicitly referencing universities' harmful investment in fossil fuels and weapons #openfest25
In our final online panel, a great paper from Batool Almarzouq, who shows how - if you follow the sources back - the same extractivist dynamics that transfer wealth from the global south to the global north in neocolonial projects play out in the open science funding landscape #OpenFest25

Now @alicejanegibson.bsky.social is talking us through how systems theory/ systems thinking can help us map and understand research culture as an ecosystem, locating the leverage points for transformative impact across the ecosystem #OpenFest25
