DESCRIPTION:The EPFL College of Humanities and the Laboratory for the H
 istory of Science and Technology are pleased to invite you to the third s
 ession of Pierre Mounier’s monthly seminar on Governing Digital Knowl
 edge Infrastructures.\n\nTue. 21st December\, 5.30pm\, Online\, registrati
 on compulsory (see below)\n\nBeyond Openness: the issue of equality\, dive
 rsity and inclusion in knowledge infrastructures. A dialogue with Leslie C
 han.\n\nOpening the governance of open knowledge infrastructures is an iss
 ue that has been addressed for some years in the academic community. But t
 he question of equality\, diversity\, and inclusion (ED&I)\, that is well 
 known in academia when it comes to access to academic positions and resear
 ch\, is rarely addressed in the larger context of knowledge production and
  particularly the infrastructure that supports it. Leslie Chan\, associate
  professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Director of the Kn
 owledge Equity Lab\, is one of the few who regularly publish on this topic
 . In a recent presentation at FORCE2021 conference\, Leslie gave a thought
 -provoking talk\, challenging “structural racism and systemic biases in 
 academic knowledge production”. For the end of the year\, the #GDKI Semi
 nar will organise an online public discussion with him around his research
  and the work of the Knowledge Equity Lab. The discussion will address in 
 particular the role of knowledge infrastructures in the inequalities and e
 xclusions that hinder knowledge production globally and how working on the
 ir governance can begin to change it.\n\nThe seminar will take place onlin
 e Tuesday the 21st of December\, 5:30-6:30PM CET and is open to anyone upo
 n registration on this page.\n\nSuggested readings\n\nAngela Okune\, Rebec
