New interview-paper dropped yesterday. I'm so grateful for @timelfen.bsky.social and @marcellaflamme.bsky.social's intellectual companionship, and to PECE/EMERGE/xcol for their amazing work. Complete interview transcripts also now live on the CADS DataverseNL instance: dataverse.nl/dataset.xhtm...
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.

Our article is part of a great special issue of @jepub.bsky.social, itself part of the work of an exceptional project rethinking open research from the humanities & social sciences (@morphss.bsky.social), led by @samuelmoore.org. We are really excited to be able to contribute to this project.
NEW PUBLICATION ALERT!
Andrew, Marcel, & I introduce & draw some conclusions from a series of interviews w/ anthropologists experimenting w/ data sharing, process documentation, intermediate publishing models, & infrastructure building to enable new forms of collaborative knowledge making.
A really fantastic line-up of great contributions, with some excellent thoughts on open infrastructuring, among other things!

A bumper issue on Open Research for the Humanities and Social Sciences ... featuring members of @copim.bsky.social 👇
This special issue looks absolutely brilliant. Can't decide which article to read first!
Featuring articles from @judithfathallah.bsky.social and other members of the team! 👏
This article is fabulous. I also offer that OA that does not use its alterity to challenge the roots of scholarly publishing's archic rational - i.e. is within the call to and principles of being governed from above - is likely to fail to meet calls for participation w/in the archic paradigm.
📣 New JEP special issue live! Huge thanks to special issue editors @samuelmoore.org @jenniad.bsky.social @mirandab-oa.bsky.social and all authors and reviewers for your brilliance. And of course to @michiganpublishing.bsky.social too!
