Harold’s presentation, entitled “Inventing Publics: Kairos and Intellectual Property Law” looks to explore the possibilities of the “open content” movement, specifically the licensing model offered by Creative Commons, as a productive alternative to other prevalent responses to the corporate hoarding of cultural resources.

As she argues in her recent book OurSpace: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture, rather than engaging commercial culture dialectically, an open content approach serves as a provocation to commercialism by amplifying certain market logics and, in doing so, undermines concepts such as “author” and “property” on which corporate power depends.

Open Access at UNIVERSITY – OpenCourseWare and Beyond

1

MIT’s OpenCourseWare, along with numerous other University-lead open access learning initiatives, has revealed the world’s thirst for open access knowledge and learning. What have we learned from previous efforts, and how and in what ways can Universities harness the potential of making their course material open access? How do we give knowledge, once put online, a sense of “life” – how do we make it “living” knowledge to be shared and developed with learners around the world?

Facilitator: Anne Margulies (MIT OpenCourseWare), Elizabeth Stark (Founder, Harvard Free Culture Club and HLS 3L), Joel Thierstein (Executive Director, Rice University Connexions)

There’s been much discussion of open access to information, but that doesn’t mean much to people who don’t have access to the network at all. This working group addressed the role University can play in addressing digital divide issues, and how those issues relate to the other topics of openness.

Facilitators: Nolan Bowie (Senior Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy, Kennedy School of Government)
