Gettin' Air wth Dr Bea de los Arcos. This is a long overdue chat with legendary open educator Dr. Bea de los Arcos. Bea has worked in Open education for many years. Her journey has taken her from her home counrty of Spain, to the Open University (UK) and now the TU Delft in the Netherlands. Any joyful enthusiasm for open education that exists in the world can all likely be tracked back to Bea. There is no research to back that claim up but it rings true.

Listen to this interview of Julia Molinari, lecturer in professional academic communication at The Open University (UK) and independent researcher. We talk her book What Makes Writing Academic: Rethinking Theory for Practice (Bloomsbury, 2022) and about the things people use academic writing for. Julia Molinari : "We need to ensure that teachers of academic writing have access to scholarship and can do the research that they need to do in order to sensitize themselves to the different ways of conceiving of writing. Because I see scholarship very much as a lever to the change that needs to happen in higher education. Scholarship means, for the teacher of EAP, knowing what has been written about academic writing and knowing that there isn't just one standard form, there isn't just one template that says, 'This is academic. This is not academic.' So, enabling practitioners to do research, to do the scholarship — this is something that requires an institutional commitment: people need to have time built into their contracts, they need to be literally paid to do the scholarship, to be aware of what's at stake when it comes to academic writing."

Three international postgraduate research students at the Open University (UK) tell Dr Lindsay O'Dell, Graduate School Director, how they embarked on their research degrees. While recorded with new international students in mind, many of the students' tips are relevant to all: be proactive, introduce yourself to people who can help you, keep up with your hobbies, and see the potential advantages in the unusual situation we're all in (the conversation was recorded in August 2020 during the pandemic).

About Dr. Jamie Woodock from Open University UK, author of Marx at the Arcade joins me in a discussion about Marxism and video games. Is there a Marxist analysis of video games?

Graham Harvey, professor of religious studies at The Open University (UK), discusses animism and how our relations are damaged by ongoing efforts to separate (human) culture from ‘nature’ and humans from other species. Engaging with Indigenous knowledges, Harvey seeks to replace ‘nature’ with more respectful relationships with the world. Graham Harvey is professor of religious studies at The Open University, UK. His research largely concerns “the new animism,” especially in the rituals and protocols through which Indigenous and other communities engage with the larger-than-human world. His publications include Food, Sex and Strangers: Understanding Religion as Everyday Life (2013), and Animism: Respecting the Living World (2nd edition 2017).

As part of our special series on emergent scholarship, Dr. Martin Weller of The Open University (UK) discussed the movement of emergent forms of scholarship, notably the changes and obstacles he has noticed since 2011 publication of his book The Digital Scholar. Our discussion focused on five main themes coming out of Martin’s work and how they relate to Ernest Boyer’s four domains of scholarship, as well as the manner in which education metaphors move educational conversation and policy for better and for worse. ABOUT MARTIN WELLER Martin Weller is Professor of Educational Technology at the Open University. He chaired the OU’s first major elearning course in 1999 with 15,000 students and has led many of the strategic technology developments at the University, including being the first VLE Director.

Cory Doctorow not only writes about the future, he's also advocating for a better one in reality. As I get more familiar with the world of Science Fiction, it strikes me that most writers in this area are also secretly activists of some form or another. Cory Doctorow, author of numerous books, including the forthcoming Walkaway, is also the co-editor of BoingBoing and a technology activist. He is a special consultant to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org), a non-profit civil liberties group that defends freedom in technology law, policy, standards and treaties. He holds an honorary doctorate in computer science from the Open University (UK), where he is a Visiting Professor; he is also a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate. In 2007, he served as the Fulbright Chair at the Annenberg Center for Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern California. What this means for this episode? I was eager to talk about Cory's latest book, which feels incredibly relevant in the wacky times we are living in throughout the world, but I was also eager to talk about technology as a whole and the impact he sees our crazy times having on publishing and on writing books in general. One of the beautiful things about Science Fiction is that it tends to present a possible future. We are able to think deeply about how we would like our future to look when reading about one potential outcome. If we want that future to be different, we can look at the course the world is taking right now and respond differently. I was inspired to ask these kind of questions while reading Walkaway, and as I spoke to Cory. I hope you will be similarly inspired.
