It’s so exciting to see the OER go live! Many thanks to Kath Burton and to Bonnie Russell for making it a reality, and also to Rebecca Kennison for coming up with the idea. My favorite parts are video interviews with several people who have broad experience in publicly engaged work: Michelle May-Curry, director of Humanities for All; Teresa Mangum and Anne Valk, editors of the Humanities and Public Life book series; Dave Tell, of the Emmett Till Memory Project; and Jenny Brier and Matt Wizinsky, director and designer, respectively, of History Moves. We hope the members of this Commons group will help us incorporate more voices and projects and more good advice in the OER as it involves.
