Why I’m in MYFest: I came to a few sessions last year and I joined a panel on institutionalizing Open education which I found really interesting and relaxed.

MYFest involvement: I will be doing a workshop on August 1 called: Open Textbooks for social justice: collaborating with peers and co-creating with students.
