I&#8217;m listening keenly to those who have place-based knowledge that can help to develop meaningful local responses to global events and influences.<\/p>\n<h2>5) In your opinion, what should we all be caring about? Why?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many and varied pressures now to be reactive. In the midst of this I am trying to preserve capacity for reflection about the longer term implications of contingent actions.<\/p>\n<p>How will present decisions shape our post-crisis futures?<\/p>\n<p>How do we make sure that we bring forward into those futures the present learning that might come at great cost, so that ethics of care become foundations?<\/p>\n<h2>6) What do you hope to take away from OER20?<\/h2>\n<p>I am not sure how much of the two days I will manage to take in synchronously, with time zones and other time demands, but I&#8217;m looking forward to the conversations that I can be present for.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m already heartened by the welcoming message that came today.
