Abstract
The Open Textbook Journeys series tells about open textbook initiatives, teaching and publishing processes, and what inspires teachers to do the work of open textbook production. This case study draws on: Stella Papanicolaou’s grant proposal to the Digital Open Textbooks for Development (DOT4D) project; her grant report; interviews (x2) with Stella; field notes of the DOT4D Publishing and Implementation Manager. The ambitious project made it possible for her to work collaboratively with students and the project team, and to experiment with ideas towards decoloniality in concrete terms rather than purely in theory.
