My work. (real digital identity)

Open practice
In other words…
scholarship what people had for lunch
![Page 5: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
+ Citizenship.

knowledge scarcity
knowledge abundance
open participation
public models
market models
gatekeeping
The shift towards Open reflects intersecting tensions

Leadership = citizenship. Scholarship = citizenship.
In the Open…
![Page 8: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This is digital citizenship
But it is NOT about technology, per se.
![Page 9: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

“Nothing could be more absurd than an experiment in which computers are placed in a classroom where
nothing else is changed.” – Seymour Papert, 1993

Open citizenship is a practice of SHARING
(blog posts, status updates, half-baked ideas, data, vulnerabilities, successes…)
![Page 11: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But also navigating borders & belonging.

Sharing requires cultivation of audience

In the globalized 21st century, not all empires are geopolitical.

Empires are constructed from money, territory, & information.

Identity is the price of admission.

Our sites of learning, also.

Open has benefits for higher ed.

Open also raises issues for higher ed.
![Page 24: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
let’s look at being a citizen of the Open.
In day-to-day practice…
![Page 25: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Citizenship in the Open =

Market models
![Page 27: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Open citizenship operates in quantified spaces
![Page 28: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Surveilled spaces “When you work for a company or an institution that collects or trades data, you’re making it easy to surveil people…you’re making it easy to
discipline people. You’re making it easy to control people. You’re putting people at risk. You’re putting students at risk.”
- Audrey Watters, 2017

…and branded spaces.
![Page 30: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The prestige economies of open scholarship & conventional scholarship intersect, creating benefits.
In an attention economy, visibility matters.
![Page 31: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
People without wealth are at a disadvantage.
But open citizenship is often built on free labour.
![Page 32: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The more things change…
Given that higher ed is already stratified, we
need to ensure the Open practices
we model do not increase citizens’
disadvantages.
![Page 33: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Knowledge abundance

"For the first time in human history, two related propositions are true. One, it no longer is possible to
store within the human brain all of the information that a human needs.
Second, it no longer is necessary to store within the human brain all of the information that humans need.
Education needs to be geared toward the handling of data rather than the accumulation of data.”
- Berlo, 1975
![Page 35: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
This demands open content + open practice…+ media literacy
http://blogs.ifla.org/lpa/files/2017/01/How-to-Spot-Fake-News-1.jpg
![Page 36: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
But media literacy is not enough.
If abundance demands the handling of data, not only our media & educational
practices need to change, but what we count as KNOWING.

No gatekeepers = no checks & balances
![Page 38: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Racism, sexism, radicalization of all stripes
![Page 39: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Participatory spaces
![Page 40: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Performative
Open practices in participatory
space force constant
negotiation of identity.
![Page 41: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Different from an institutional role.
![Page 42: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Participatory open citizenship is built through ongoing signals & traces
![Page 43: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
But these must compete with distractions…
![Page 44: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Spectacle
![Page 45: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
& Mistrust
![Page 46: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
* ¤ None of this is new…but it all contributes to an information
ecosystem in which people feel cynical and confronted –
by difference, by jealousy, by challenges to their worldviews, by
blatant efforts to deceive – all in the same spaces.
![Page 47: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Participation is confronting.
![Page 48: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Being confronted gets people all up in their feelings
![Page 49: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
We need new stories. We don’t have positive cultural narratives for
healthy participation in the Open, nor a vision of what that would mean.

![Page 50: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The more signals & traces we create… The more we likely we are to make someone
feel confronted.
![Page 51: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Add in virtue signalling…
…and tactical contrarianism
![Page 52: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
…and identity spaces that amplify anger at loss of dominance
![Page 53: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Polarization
![Page 54: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
So digital citizenship is a total gong show.
Close the internet & go home.
![Page 55: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
WAIT.
![Page 56: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
None of this is new. Not the spectacle.
Not the sexism. Not the racism.
Not the polarization. We the citizens have made this place.
![Page 57: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
To build citizens for abundance & participation, we need to practice
collaboration.

We need to focus our attention on the parts of the Open – and of media, and of society –
that are NOT polarized.
And build new practices of citizenship
![Page 59: Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the Open](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f01bea1a28ab647e8b4609/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

NO
