Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships.
Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.
This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.

Dear colleagues,
The team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC is pleased to invite contributions to their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit. Hosted on the Decolonizing Teaching Indigenizing Learning website<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/decolonizing-together-symposium/>, this open toolkit will feature text-based, podcast, and video content to bring to light the perspectives and experiences of racialized and marginalized people previously absent in teacher education programming. Through this medium, they aim to address how Indigenous erasure, racism, ableism, and multiple other forms of oppression are taken up in the Faculties of Education at UBC and how to address existing gaps through changes to practice and policy.
Building on the thought-provoking presentations during the two Decolonizing Together Symposiums in October 2021 and January 2022, they continue to aim at cultivating a diverse community to create and sustain equitable and inclusive campuses and teacher education experiences. Topics addressed in this toolkit may include anti-racism, anti-oppression, anti-ableism, sexuality and gender discrimination, inclusive learning practice, and settler of colour experiences. Their goal is to provide in-service and pre-service teachers with practical and applicable approaches to addressing this content in their teaching, or for facing challenges related to these issues as they arise in day-to-day practice.
Interested contributors are asked to send a brief proposal (maximum 300 words) to the team by March 1, 2023.
Final papers and other content are due July 1, 2023.
Parameters for final works:
* Papers: 3500–5000 words (not including references)
* Audio: 10–15 minutes of podcast feed or other audio recording
* Video: 10 minutes in length
Submission timeline:
* Proposals due: March 1, 2023
* Acceptance notification: April 1, 2023
* Final works submitted: July 1, 2023
* Publication: September 1, 2023
The original call for proposals document is attached. Please direct any questions to Dr. Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca)

Dear colleagues,
Please consider forwarding to your students an invitation to participate in the OER Student Perception survey<https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1zgGSbs6rIQF9Mq>. Conducted by UBC, this survey is targeted toward B.C. post-secondary students enrolled in courses using open textbooks. It should take about 10 minutes to complete.
In the attached invitation, the researchers say this survey "will help us build a picture of how open textbooks impact the educational outcomes of students in B.C. The results of this online survey will help university instructors, administrators, student associations, policymakers, government officials, and other stakeholders make more informed decisions about the adoption of open textbooks."
Any questions about the survey can be directed to Dr. Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca) or Dr. Carolee Clyne (cclyne(a)bccampus.ca)

Dear Open Education Colleagues:
The DOERS3 Collaborative<https://www.doers3.org/>, building on its previous work with the DOERS3 OER Contributions Matrix<https://www.doers3.org/tenure-and-promotion.html>, seeks authors for a book-length project<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html> centered around valuing open education work in the tenure, promotion, and reappointment process. To that end, we are interested in case studies written by faculty, staff, and administrators detailing their experiences trying to appropriately value OER and open educational work in that process.
A critical part of sustaining OER and open educational practices in higher education is recognizing the contributions by instructors who create and improve OER as part of their professional work. By collecting case studies from those who have experience, DOERS3 seeks to provide as many examples from as many types of institutions as possible so that those looking for answers to this problem can find solutions that speak to their particular issues. The goal of this project is to ultimately be the first stop for anyone asking, “How can I make open education work count toward the job security of myself and others?”
DOERS3 seeks abstracts of no more than 250 words for potential case studies by 10/24/22. Case study authors will be compensated for their work and all accepted submissions will be peer reviewed. For more details and a link for abstract submission, see the full Call for Authors.<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html>
Thank you!

Hello All!
Registration is now OPEN<https://events.eply.com/2022ETUGWorkshopNov4> for the Fall Educational Technology Users Group Event on November 4. This year’s theme is: Digital Literacy!
[cid:image001.jpg@01D8E396.1E7DF380]
Despite the recovery from the pandemic, the number of academic programs and courses delivered in hybrid or fully online formats will likely remain high. At the same time, an increasing number of instructors are trying out HyFlex delivery — giving students options about whether they come to class or learn online. Digital literacy, for both instructors and students, impacts effective use of these delivery modes. But how can digital literacy support teaching and learning for online, hybrid, and HyFlex courses? What does a student need to be digitally literate? What does an instructor need to be digitally literate?
Hope to see you there
Amanda
