Open Educational Resources for Teaching History of Higher Education (Table 10)

• In Event: AERA Roundtable Session Thursday 8:00 a.m. Four Seasons Ballroom 2-3

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This symposium features four distinct historical research projects united by a common goal: producing open educational resources (OERs) for teaching histories of higher education. Projects include historical analysis of the development and dissolution of cultural resource centers; responses to sex-based violence on college campuses; counternarratives of racial justice activism; and resistance to state-sponsored LGBTQ+ oppression. These OERs support just education renewal by inviting students to examine primary sources and question how things came to be this way. How did higher education stakeholders resist undemocratic forces in the past? How can knowledge of the past inform our efforts to repair educational spaces characterized by oppression and divisiveness?
