In June this year, Joe Deville gave a talk at the Radical Open Access conference, at Coventry University.
Organised by Janneke Adema and Gary Hall (that’s the Gary Hall from our advisory board), the event hosted two days of intense discussion amongst a range of individuals and collectives involved in attempts to develop visions for Open Access forms of scholarly communication that push at the edges of what is currently being practiced. Joe talked about the potential that thinking through relations of care might have for the practical work of organising the production of open access publishing initiatives.
You can read some of Eileen Joy’s reflections on the event and download Jonathan Gray’s slides from the end of the event, where he summed up some of the work done over the course of the two days and what remains to be achieved.
