B&W photo looking out a rainy window on the job-site. Construction dust and loud noises inside.. but like life, there is softness amongst the storms. Timber framing the view across the forest valley. With layers of mountain ridge lines intermixed in low lying clouds.

Two people stand behind a large wooden table covered in A3 size sheets of paper which appear to have coloured maps on them. They are both looking at one sheet of paper which one of them is holding by the edge in their left hand and pointing at with their right hand. Behind them from floor to ceiling are wide, shallow drawers which are presumably where the maps are stored.

This bumper special issue was an absolute joy to co-edit. Get stuck in!
Proud to have contributed this interview piece to the just-published MORPHSS special issue on openness in HSS.
We profile three initiatives in anthropology that are doing openness in the key of generative reuse rather than reproducibility.

In “Open at the Level of (Para)Text: Critical Intertextuality and Discursive Notation as Open Research Practices in the Humanities,” Jenni Adams explores textual & paratextual practices to support transparency in situated and epistemically appropriate ways. doi.org/10.3998/jep.... [8/n]

Interesting new preprint: Cataloguing and theorising open research practices in the arts, humanities and social sciences: Problematising and diversifying ‘Open Science’
f1000research.com/articles/15-...
"Emphasising the diversity of open practices in AHSS carries the potential to enrich debates around open research at a multidisciplinary level, problematising and diversifying existing models [...], and inviting reconsideration of approaches to openness across all areas"
#OpenResearch #AHSS
Six overlapping circles illustrating the six types of openness in the MORPHSS typology: epistemic openness, participatory openness, process openness, evidentiary openness, availability of outputs and the accessible communication of research.
Figure illustrating the MORPHSS typology's six forms of openness and their audiences, participants and publics (participants and communities, academic audiences and non-academic audiences)
We present and unpack the MORPHSS typology of forms of openness in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences, and the range of actors and audiences to whom these forms and practices of openness "open up" research:

Enjoyed this; learned a lot about C20th Korean & Japanese history
Very much looking forward to speaking more about @morphss.bsky.social with @jenniad.bsky.social on 21st April 11-12 BST & sharing the session with a great talk by Stephen Gray at Uni of Bristol. See the link to the whole programme below, and for our session, register here: gw4.ac.uk/events/the-v...
Love this!
Practice #10 in the MORPHSS catalogue of open research practices in AHSS: Documenting & disseminating failure
"..openly sharing aspects of a research project, or entire studies, that were unsuccessful, in order to present research experiences honestly & in a spirit of generosity to ongoing work..."

For me, some consideration of how we read and engage with academic books would be useful… openness (to me) looks like an affordable paperback edition that enables the kind of attentive, embodied reading conducive to good scholarship.
Practice #25 in the MORPHSS catalogue of open research practices in AHSS: Research-Practice Partnerships
"Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPs) seek to bring research and practice closer together through sustained collaboration between researchers and practitioners..."

Very proud to be co-organising this. Research Culture work can sometimes feel both political and isolating. We're hopeful this workshop will feel reparative, collaborative, and help us uncover what RC work can learn from other social and political movements. We'd love to see you there ✊
