Description of the event
Established in 2016, the University of Ottawa Library Open Scholarship Award recognizes faculty members and instructional staff who demonstrate excellence in supporting and practicing open scholarship. Open scholarship encompasses all aspects of open access, open data and open educational resources in both teaching and research.
Dr. Bowker is a Full Professor in Translation and Interpretation, focusing on machine translation literacy. Dr. Bowker makes a substantial contribution to advancing open scholarship, both in her teaching and research, and focuses on making her work more accessible to non-academic audiences, and available and translated in languages other than English. Dr. Bowker has published numerous open access books and OERs, such as Translating for Canada, eh? (2020), Using Game-based Learning Online (2020) and De-mystifying Translation (2023), which has already been downloaded over 70,000 times around the globe!
Dr. Bowker’s diverse approach to practicing and promoting open research also includes sitting on the advisory board for the Canadian Humanities and Social Sciences Commons (HSS Commons), a collaborator on the European Union-funded project DIAMAS (Developing Institutional Open Access Publishing Models to Advance Scholarly Communication). In addition, it encompasses her continued work participating in showcases and webinars (e.g. Open Library Creator Spotlight 2020, Fabrique RÉL 2022, eCampus Ontario 2023).
Join us at this virtual ceremony to meet Professor Bowker and learn more about her experiences with open scholarship. Her presentation will be followed by a discussion.
