Abstract
The Open Access movement has helped to make scholarly materials more widely available to researchers across the globe. It has also helped to open the doors for scholars who are often excluded from scholarly discourse to participate in forming the scholarly record. This keynote will explore ways to bring in voices from the margins and efforts we can make to ensure that commonly marginalized voices are welcomed into the mainstream of scholarly discourse.
