Friends! Please join me in London or online for my inaugural lecture in April. There will be wine and nibbles! You can heckle me from the back row! I've already promised some raunchy Zed from Zardoz references - other indecent shout-out requests may be considered. Booking via QR code.

We've officially launched! With our new #DiamondOpenAccess investment campaign to help libraries build a sustainable, community‑led future for scholarly publishing & support journals flipping away from costly subscription models. Read the Press release here drive.google.com/file/d/10Hgf...

Feeling quite emotional today - it's the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of @ojcollective.bsky.social! It's taken 14 months of hard work to get here & I'm incredibly proud of our brilliant team. This is just the beginning - more announcements coming soon from the collective! drive.google.com/file/d/10Hgf...

I wrote an author's note on my book for the energy humanities website, do check it out: www.energyhumanities.ca/news/the-non...

Philosophical Logic has joined the OLH! Read their open letter on mass editorial resignation and the push to make academic research “as accessible as possible to both the academic community and society at large”.

We’re hiring! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Just disgusting to see these unelected, extremely wealthy, pompous relics voting against working class people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Although I'm horrified to see a massive landscape picture of my head here, this is a really important piece about the maturation of scholar-led, non-profit publishing. As I write, chaos is coming but there are enormous opportunities to quit the big 5 www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

If you'd like to catch up with the @oaaustralasia.bsky.social #OpenAccessWeek event on Community Ownership the recording is now available: youtu.be/bdNdkWG-uCg?... I was honoured to speak alongside Dr. Kiri West (Māori Data Sovereignty Network) & Dr. Alice McSherry (Waiheke Marine Project).

It’s spooky season… 🧟‍♂️ Don’t feed the zombies. Support diamond open access! The zombie poster is back! #DiamondOA #OpenAccess #Halloween

“Amidst increasing corporate pressure on editors to compromise academic integrity in favour of increasing profit margins, there are signs that a tipping point has been reached in recent years”. Check out Rose Harris-Birtill’s piece on editorial freedom, radical hope, and the mission of the OLH

This week is pretty special for us at @openlibhums.org. It's #OAWeek & also 10 years since we launched as a publisher! As my brilliant colleague Dr Rose Harris-Birtill writes in her Editorial, academics must speak up with "radical hope and courage": olh.openlibhums.org/article/id/2... #OAWeek25

Lovely interview with our new OLH colleague Dr Maddie Sinclair who reflects on the importance of research being publicly available. "As a researcher, I became aware very early on of the structural inequalities in publishing systems, and I didn’t want to perpetuate them." #OpenAccess #AcaSky

📢 CfP: A hybrid conference at Warwick themed on Solidarity. We seek to ask what it means to stand in solidarity, how is it built and what are the challenges involved, and analyses/perspectives on historical and contemporary solidarity campaigns in support of emancipatory struggles.
