Who gets to participate in open science projects?
Recording of the Shuttleworth Foundation Flash Forward (ffwd.flashgrants.org) session on Feb 25th 2021
Often, those who get to participate in open science projects are those who are already part of scientific institutions and/or have related jobs, salaries, and assigned time and resources to get involved. As a consequence, a reproduction of structural exclusion and knowledge inequality takes place. This was one of our lessons learned as part of Vuela, an open source drone project, and one we are starting to further reflect on and write about in a publication. We invite you to participate in a discussion about strategies to mitigate and fight this hard to break phenomenon.
