As we work to transform higher education, making our institutions more inclusive, more just, and more generous in their relationships with constituencies both on- and off-campus, we must also consider the roles that our ways of working with our communities of practice play in such transformation. This talk will explore the need for a scholarly communications infrastructure that is open-source, open-access, not-for-profit, and radically interoperable in order to facilitate the kinds of collaboration that can allow research and publishing to serve our highest goals and to function in accordance with our highest values.

This is a keynote talk given by Kathleen Fitzpatrick in the "Launching a Digital Commons for the Humanities and Social Sciences" event that took place virtually on Monday, January 24, 2022. More information can be found here: https://inke.ca/launching-digital-commons-1
