  1. Excited by London Open Research Week's focus on critique of "open" and "openness". @samoore_ kicking off with a look at radical open access from an explicitly anti-capitalist perspective.

      Looking at the Budapest Open Access Initiative and comparing its pro-business, pro-individualised property stance with that of Creative Commons. Dominant forms of open-access that stem from it or came after it are not at all antithetical to capitalism.

        "Building structural equity is not possible under structures of capitalism." Sam is just laying it out here. Highly recommend this talk.

            Very impressed with the broad range of texts discussed in this presentation. Anna Lowerhaupt Tsing's The Mushroom at the End of the World being cited for its work on scability in globalised systems. 🍄 #LORW

                First mushrooms and now rhizomes. @astrobri is discussing Deleuze & Guattari and emancipation for publishing and scholarly communication.

                  A pessimistic (/ realist) note in the Q&A that UK Higher Education institutions are structurally incapable and politically unwilling to do anything truly radical in academic publishing. Fringe collaborative projects are potentially able to do /something/ but not unis #LORW
