WHY THEORY?
● Without it, open education is vulnerable
to dilution and cooptation
● Not just a lens, but also as a keel
REAL UTOPIAS
Sociologist Erik Olin Wright has built a theoretical framework for a
critical and emancipatory approach in social science most
comprehensively presented in Envisioning Real Utopias (2010).
“Real utopias” aims to contribute a “normatively grounded sociology of
the possible, not just the actual” (2012, p. 2).

REAL UTOPIAS
Image: DV Ltd. / Sigtryggur Ari
A contradictory term?
UTOPIAS are fantasies, morally inspired designs unconstrained by
feasibility
REALists eschew such fantasies, condemning them as wasted time and
effort
Wright proposes embracing the tensions between dreams and practice.
What is pragmatically possible is not independent of our imaginations, but
Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier
FOUNDATIONS
1) Many forms of human suffering and many deficits in
human flourishing are the result of existing institutional
and social structures.
2) Transforming existing institutional and social structures
in the right way has the potential to substantially reduce
human suffering and expand the possibilities for human
flourishing.
(Wright, 2012, p. 2)
Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier
FOUR TASKS
1) Specifying moral principles
2) Diagnosis and critique of existing institutions
3) Developing an account of viable alternatives
4) Proposing a theory of transformation
THE CONSTRAINTS
OF POLICY
A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF OPEN
EDUCATION POLICIES IN VIRGINIA

Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier
Two research questions guide this analysis.
● First, how is open education discursively
framed within institutional policies?
● Second, do discursive framings in policies
support open education and OER as
transformational for education, and if so,
how?

THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
∎ Tkacz (2015), Wikipedia and the Politics of Openness
∎ Critical Theory (Horkheimer, 1947;1972) and
∎ Critical Approaches to Open Education (Bayne, Knox, and
Ross, 2015; Deimann and Farrow, 2013; Hall, 2011; and
Knox, 2013)
Image: Warwick University
Fairclough (1993, 1995)
Texts present ideologies,
beliefs, messages, and
meanings.
CDA proposes to illuminate
these messages, how they
are framed, and how they can
be resisted and usurped.
Gee (1999)
Language is not merely a
means of communication, but
also orders social activity.
CDA is concerned with how
text presents discursive
practices- the ways in which
we are in the world.
Martínez-Alemán (2015)
Has been applying CDA in
higher education policy
analysis.
Identifies its primary
purposes as 1) to reveal
ideological foundations of
discourse, and 2) to provide
evidence (data) to support
corrective action
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)

DATA COLLECTION
DATA ANALYSIS
Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett
Following Martínez-Alemán (2015), CDA is derived from an array of social science techniques
and not a singular method:
Establishing context(s)
● Identification of connections between aspects that construct and restrict discourse
○ CULTURE, SOCIAL IDENTITY, and LANGUAGE
● Identification of linkages between TEXT, STRUCTURAL POWER, and CONTEXT
Framing the text (McGregor, 2004)
● Power relations: who is depicted in power, who has agency, who does not?
● Omission of information, nominalization (converting verbs to nouns), passive verbs
● Presuppositions, what is assumed by the author?
● Insinuations and connotations
● Tone of certainty and authority
● Register, do the words spoken ring true?
DATA ANALYSIS
Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett
“improve student success through increased access and affordability, and
improve teaching efficiency and effectiveness through the ability to
focus, analyze, augment, and evolve course materials directly aligned to
course learning outcomes. Faculty will be supported in their use of OER to
achieve both of the stated outcomes.”
(TCC, 2014, p. 1-2)
DATA ANALYSIS
Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett
Faculty who incorporate OER materials into their courses shall assume all
responsibility for maintaining the integrity of the course content as
related to copyright and scholarly merit. In order for a course to carry a Z
designation within TCC’s Student Information System, faculty must
follow the procedures contained in this policy. (TCC, 2014, p. 2, emphasis
added)
DATA ANALYSIS
Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett
Faculty are to use only materials that are published under a Creative
Commons License or exist in the Public Domain. (TCC, 2014, p. 3, emphasis
added)
It is the faculty member’s responsibility to ensure that such content is
eligible for and meets the standards for a CC-BY license. As such, no
portion of such work may be claimed by others in whole, in part, or as a
derivative work. This requirement is mandatory for Z courses and
strongly encouraged for OER courses. (TCC, 2014, p. 3, emphasis added)
ASSUMPTIONS
● Built on the assumptions that language is more than the mechanics
of communication; it orders social practices and expresses ideology
and thus holds impact on actions
DELIMITATIONS
● Focused on institutional and state-level higher education policies
from Virginia from 2007-2016
LIMITATIONS
● As open education policies are only just emerging, there are relatively
few examples from which to draw
● This study will not be analyzing the impact of evident discourses

  • 8. Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier WHY THEORY? ● Without it, open education is vulnerable to dilution and cooptation ● Not just a lens, but also as a keel
  • 9. REAL UTOPIAS Sociologist Erik Olin Wright has built a theoretical framework for a critical and emancipatory approach in social science most comprehensively presented in Envisioning Real Utopias (2010). “Real utopias” aims to contribute a “normatively grounded sociology of the possible, not just the actual” (2012, p. 2).

  • 10. REAL UTOPIAS Image: DV Ltd. / Sigtryggur Ari A contradictory term? UTOPIAS are fantasies, morally inspired designs unconstrained by feasibility REALists eschew such fantasies, condemning them as wasted time and effort Wright proposes embracing the tensions between dreams and practice. What is pragmatically possible is not independent of our imaginations, but
  • 11. Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier FOUNDATIONS 1) Many forms of human suffering and many deficits in human flourishing are the result of existing institutional and social structures. 2) Transforming existing institutional and social structures in the right way has the potential to substantially reduce human suffering and expand the possibilities for human flourishing. (Wright, 2012, p. 2)
  • 12. Public Domain Image: N°. 2 – Les utopies de la navigation aérienne au siècle dernier FOUR TASKS 1) Specifying moral principles 2) Diagnosis and critique of existing institutions 3) Developing an account of viable alternatives 4) Proposing a theory of transformation

  • 14. Two research questions guide this analysis. ● First, how is open education discursively framed within institutional policies? ● Second, do discursive framings in policies support open education and OER as transformational for education, and if so, how?

  • 16. Fairclough (1993, 1995) Texts present ideologies, beliefs, messages, and meanings. CDA proposes to illuminate these messages, how they are framed, and how they can be resisted and usurped. Gee (1999) Language is not merely a means of communication, but also orders social activity. CDA is concerned with how text presents discursive practices- the ways in which we are in the world. Martínez-Alemán (2015) Has been applying CDA in higher education policy analysis. Identifies its primary purposes as 1) to reveal ideological foundations of discourse, and 2) to provide evidence (data) to support corrective action Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)

  • 18. DATA ANALYSIS Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett Following Martínez-Alemán (2015), CDA is derived from an array of social science techniques and not a singular method: Establishing context(s) ● Identification of connections between aspects that construct and restrict discourse ○ CULTURE, SOCIAL IDENTITY, and LANGUAGE ● Identification of linkages between TEXT, STRUCTURAL POWER, and CONTEXT Framing the text (McGregor, 2004) ● Power relations: who is depicted in power, who has agency, who does not? ● Omission of information, nominalization (converting verbs to nouns), passive verbs ● Presuppositions, what is assumed by the author? ● Insinuations and connotations ● Tone of certainty and authority ● Register, do the words spoken ring true?

DATA ANALYSIS Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett “improve student success through increased access and affordability, and improve teaching efficiency and effectiveness through the ability to focus, analyze, augment, and evolve course materials directly aligned to course learning outcomes. Faculty will be supported in their use of OER to achieve both of the stated outcomes.” (TCC, 2014, p. 1-2)

DATA ANALYSIS Image CC (BY) Angie Garrett Faculty who incorporate OER materials into their courses shall assume all responsibility for maintaining the integrity of the course content as related to copyright and scholarly merit. In order for a course to carry a Z designation within TCC’s Student Information System, faculty must follow the procedures contained in this policy. (TCC, 2014, p. 2, emphasis added)

  • 22. ASSUMPTIONS ● Built on the assumptions that language is more than the mechanics of communication; it orders social practices and expresses ideology and thus holds impact on actions DELIMITATIONS ● Focused on institutional and state-level higher education policies from Virginia from 2007-2016 LIMITATIONS ● As open education policies are only just emerging, there are relatively few examples from which to draw ● This study will not be analyzing the impact of evident discourses Image CC (BY-SA) Edith Soto
