EKU Libraries publishes a unique collection of Open Educational Resources (OER), written by our very own EKU faculty! OER are published with creative commons licenses that clearly state what permissions the author has enabled for people to use, share, and/or adapt their work.
Dr. Ogechi Anyanwu and faculty in the African/African American Studies program have already published two editions of an African-American Studies OER, Slavery to Liberation that offers sound interdisciplinary analysis of selected historical and contemporary issues surrounding the origins and manifestations of White supremacy in the United States. Their third OER is coming soon! Ancient and Modern: The African Experience, will present the dynamic physical, human, historical, economic, political, social, and cultural developments shaping the present and future of Africa and Africans in the Diaspora—a significant focus of the African Experience curriculum at EKU. Dr. Anyanwu was a recipient of an Alternative Textbook Grant funded by the EKU Board of Regents in 2020.
Dr. Miles Feroli, Assistant Director of First Year Courses, Dr. Carl Root of the School of Justice Studies, and Stephanie Saulnier, MSW Department Chair are all in the writing phases of new OER. We cannot wait to see their final products!
Dr. Lisa Day’s Accessible Appalachia, published in 2024, is an ideal text for introductory classes in Appalachian Studies. Funding for Accessible Appalachia was also provided by an Alternative Textbook Grant.
