Our community
Raising awareness of the pedagogical implications of open and reproducible science in higher education.
We endorse the Mozilla Manifesto in committing to verifiable facts, critical thinking, and reasoned argument along with inclusion, collaboration, and shared knowledge. When advocating that “a person’s demographic characteristics should not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience,” FORRT community concurrently advocates for civil discourse guided by human dignity. We are committed to a community that (a) includes all the peoples of the earth, where a person’s demographic characteristics do not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience; (b) promotes civil discourse, human dignity, and individual expression; (c) elevates critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable facts; and that (d) catalyzes collaboration among diverse communities working together for the common good towards better educational practices in higher education.
We are comprised of 1,500+ Slack members, 435 contributors across 50+ projects, 1,200+ newsletter subscribers, and 2,000+ followers on Bluesky (1,000+ on LinkedIn)—and below you find the profiles of our community members.
