@cogdog thanks for this Alan. It has reminded me to dig out a book (still stuck in a box since our house move in November) by Roszika Parker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozsika_Parker?wprov=sfti1 “The Subversive Stitch”. Folk can look at the FemEdTech quilt at https://quilt.femedtech.net/quilt/ thanks to https://ammienoot.com/ In our chapter in #HE4Good we also stressed the history of stitch/quilting as being a site for collective endeavour by women (not just upper class women) https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0363/ch10.xhtml#_idTextAnchor037
this post includes acknowledgements to @czernie @helenbeetham @louisedrumm @greeneterry & all #HE4Good contributors. I also add my thanks to many more, for thinking, doing & sharing in ways that help us all 💛
indeed. #HE4Good authors had a wide range of reasons for their audio choices. some who used AI-voice options cited practical constraints (e.g. time, tech), while others said they did not want to give more examples of their voice to the web for AI platforms to "grab". much to consider...
@poritzj thank you, Jonathan — it’s lovely to receive your feedback. each author made an individual choice regarding how to create the audio for their chapter, but all were committed to creating audio to improve accessibility. we will blog about the process early on the new year — it was fascinating! @czernie @econproph #HE4Good
Alan is @cogdog 🇨🇦@jimgroom @catherinecronin That’s one of the audio tracks I threw into the mix when we are not live broadcasting, got a few more #HE4Good chapters in the mix too.
The audio version of Higher Education for Good is now available. Together with all authors, @czernie and I hope that this will increase the access, engagement, and impact of the work, which we view as ongoing.
To access the audio, please visit the book web page https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0363#, scroll down to a chapter of interest, and click Download (for MP3).
Heartfelt thanks to all authors for their commitment to this work and to @greeneterry for such generous audio support.

Higher Education for Good: Teaching and Learning Futures
After decades of turbulence and acute crises in recent years, how can we build a better future for Higher Education? Thoughtfully edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, this rich and diverse collection by academics and professionals from across 17 countries and many disciplines offers a variety of answers to this question. It addresses the need to set new values for universities, trapped today in narratives dominated by financial incentives and performance indicators, and examines those “wicked” problems which need multiple solutions, resolutions, experiments, and imaginaries.
Today, @helenbeetham 's review of our book Higher Education for Good #HE4Good is published in Postdigital Science & Education. In a comprehensive essay, Helen describes the book as "a public event, a gathering, a diversely peopled conversation within and beyond its pages: the desperate throw of a lifeline or the hopeful throw of a dream, beyond the really existing universities of the present towards better alternatives."
@czernie & I thank you, Helen!
