Dear All,
The Research Group in Anthropology with a Public Orientation (GIAOP), based at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), will convene an international workshop/conference on open access and how it concerns anthropology on 16 and 17 October 2014 (the program is attached to this email).
This workhop, entitled FAQs about Open Access: The Politics of Publishing in Anthropology and Beyond, will address the current debates concerning how to provide free access to information and knowledge produced at academic institutions. The discussion will focus on the current politics of access to the results of publicly-funded research and will aim to elucidate sustainable and non-discriminatory formulas of free access to scientific knowledge. It will also explore how ethnographies of digital technologies, free licences and free software may contribute to expanding the debates about open access.
Ultimately, the workshop will seek to promote discussion that fosters a notion of knowledge as a public good and identifies avenues for an increasing democratisation of academic institutions and the work that is done by their members.
