I'm really interested in the idea of de-colonial literary criticism being the outcome of this discussion. "Legitimizing" is the wrong word...but it's meaningful that this is the call to action the author of this article presents. There's something to how we respond to art and literature that makes it communal.

this resonates.

there's an opportunity for academic libraries here that I'm not sure we are taking

I've never heard of anti-disciplinary before!! Anyone got any good resources/articles to read up on this more?

I think this is an important point. I think in education there is often discussion of "teaching personas" and as our digital landscape grows there is a need to brand yourself to gain recognition or following. Perhaps a good, grounding practice to consider is to ask myself the question "am I really seeking to decolonize or am I wanting to rebrand?"

this article is a must read

I often think about how academics have more international opportunities than other fields and industries. How does this shape our views on colonization and decolonization as a field?

There is so much good stuff in here but I think my two main takeaways are asking the question "what kind of ancestor do I want to be?" this hits me as a very hopeful question- it's one that requires belief in the future and future generations. It's really pulls into focus the idea that what we are doing and working on now will impact the long game. The second thing that I'm chewing on is the way that the speakers problematized public domain.

Would be curious to know what people believe is the "best" LMS. My university has a homegrown one.
