In eduspaces we talk about values in nebulous terms. We believe in open, we believe in barrier-free, we believe in social justice, we believe in student-focused pedagogies. But what are these values as praxis for those of us who support student-focused spaces? In this keynote, Dr. Ann Gagné will discuss how we are currently living through a crisis of trust in higher education, institutionally, governmentally, societally, and within our own communities. She will support reflection on how trust is a vector, with both magnitude and direction that impacts the work we do and the work we want to do.  By highlighting broken reciprocal values and support systems, this talk defines the moral injury seen in our eduspaces and gives participants the opportunity to leave with tangible next steps to promote trust as reciprocal and etymologically radical.  

This event is organized by the BC Open Education Librarians group (BCOEL) and generously sponsored by BCcampus through a BCcampus Open Education Week 2025 Grant, with additional support from Langara College and University Canada West.
