Why are academic publications so difficult to access?
This video/podcast includes a discussion and acknowledgment of many of the systemic forces that sustain a system of exclusive control of scholarly publication that limits accessibility and engagement for people outside of academia and elite institutions in particular. Supplementary learning is included to offer historic context, the scale of the challenge, and active movements seeking to address access barriers and open up science internationally. The solutions to this complex challenge will require partnerships within and outside the system and will require challenging the system and traditions. After completing the lecture and engaging with the supplementary learning materials please reflect on your own barriers to accessing scholarly work and discussion with others possible solutions to these barriers over time.

Course Disclaimers
This video provides an overview of various course disclaimers that are important to note before going into the course to ensure everyone has the a shared understanding of the agreements, limitations, and risks involved in engaging in an online course and learning community together. Topics explored include: Terms of Participation Examples of community violations Technology requirements Peer facilitation Non-hierarchical Learning Facilitator Positioning Limits representing depth and complexity of international OS Copyright Financial Disclaimers Tigger/Content Warnings Scope of course What the course is and is not Something I forgot to mention in the video above is that I do not have an exhaustive foundation in the depth and breadth of OS (I am truly learning along with everyone) Its possible that I do not properly recognize and credit all contributors to the field due to my limited exposure to full depth and breadth of literature. If I find later that I have not properly cited my presentation or described concepts, I will issue a correction and let you all know via email or messenger. Thank you for your grace in my possibly limited understanding as I learn along with you all and the support of the OS community.

What is Occupational Science? What is Occupation?
This lecture explores basic definitions of Occupational Science and how occupational science enhances our understanding of the construct of "Occupation" by exploring its influence on various formal definitions of occupation that have evolved along with developments in Occupational Science over time. This video also acknowledges limitations in defining occupation accurately across diverse cultural contexts internationally. This video is meant to inspire curiosity rather than conclusive clarity of the definition of Occupational Science and the phenomena and threshold concept of Occupation and what it means to explore it scientifically with accuracy and holism and how it can be leveraged therapeutically and constructively in our practice settings.

Positioning Our Work Today as OTPs in the Legacy of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science History with Dr. John White, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA
John White, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA (https://www.pacificu.edu/about/directory/people/john-white-phd-otrl-faota) John White talks about how he reconciles the history of occupational therapy with the present day, and how occupational science can be used to connect with and understand the traditions and practices of occupational therapy. John White shares his experience of becoming an occupational therapist, and how he has positioned himself as an occupational scientist in relation to occupational therapy history and occupational science history. He discusses the opportunities that clinicians have to develop their science-based practice from a position of clinical experience. John White discusses how the occupational therapy field has changed over time, specifically in regards to mental health. He describes how the field has become more medicalized and how this has impacted the way that occupational therapists work with clients. He also talks about how the field has shifted away from more craft-based and occupation-based approaches to care. John White had a long and successful career as an occupational therapist, but he found himself drawn to teaching and academia later in his career. He ended up going to graduate school at USC, where he was exposed to occupational science for the first time. He found the concepts and ideas around occupational science to be very exciting and transformative, and he has been a key figure in the development of the field ever since. John White's experience as a student at USC was shaped by his privilege, which gave him access to opportunities that he wouldn't have had otherwise. He was able to take advantage of these opportunities to learn about occupational science and its potential to improve the lives of people with disabilities. John White talks about the importance of occupational science in shaping occupational therapy practice, and how it can provide a transformative educational experience for students. He also reflects on the need to democratize and make some of this terminology more accessible so that we can actually take advantage too, of all the work that we have done. Occupational science is the study of humans as occupational beings, and it is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses aspects of biology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines. The goal of occupational science is to understand the relationship between humans and their occupation Occupational science provides a way to understand human behavior and human interest in connecting with people. It can help therapists understand the occupational needs and goals of other professionals and build collaborative relationships. The field of occupational therapy has evolved over time, and occupational science can help therapists understand the changing context of practice. Occupational therapists have a long and rich history of working to help people engage in meaningful occupations, and this history can provide a great deal of inspiration and hope for those working in the field today. There are many opportunities for occupational therapists to advocate for and promote occupational justice, and this can be done by working to ensure that all people have access to the occupations they need and want. Occupational science is the study of occupation and how it affects people's lives. It can be used to improve society and help people understand the importance of occupation in their lives.

Broadening the Roots of the Arts and Craft Movement in the US with Lauren Black, Executive Director of the Social Justice Sewing Academy
One of the core themes of this module is contextualizing the inseparable connection we have as OTs to the history of the United States and the opportunity we have today to author our legacy and to expand and repattern the legacies of our past foundation to be an active part of constructive change and multilayered intergenerational healing. This discussion highlights how the Arts and Crafts movement can be connected to navigating contemporary social challenges and how OTs can practically build partnerships with community stakeholders such as the Social Justice Sewing Academy and use artistic expression and occupation as a medium to build connections across differences and repair divisions, and harm brought about through system injustice and marginalization. Today we as OTPs have the opportunity to connect to, build off of, and expand the legacy of resistance, resilience, and repair we have inherited in response to current challenges.

Mindfully Navigating Cultivation of a Non-Traditional Inclusive Learning Community with Taylor Wilmont, AMFT
Taylor Wilmont, AMFT brings in to this dialog a lens developed as an active student in non-traditional learning environments cultivated since 2007. She offers a lens as emerging practice mental health counselor with an educational background that focused on developing skills to support multicultural approaches to counseling. Discussion Summary: It's normal to feel emotions like grief, anger, and confusion when our worldview is challenged by something new. In order to support ourselves and others through this process, we should allow space for feeling without judgment, try to recognize and validate our emotions, and seek towards expression and exploration. 1. Josephine Jarvis and Taylor Wilmot both went to an interdisciplinary college and are now working as therapists in different fields. 2. They are discussing the challenges and benefits of learning in an educational community that is intentionally non-hierarchical. 3. They are exploring how different modes of learning can be used to benefit the inclusion, wellbeing, and empowerment of diverse humans. Josephine Jarvis and Taylor Wilmot discuss the challenges of creating a safe space for emotional expression in an online learning environment. They note that it is important to be aware of the difference between emotions and information, and that emotional reactions are not necessarily acts of violence. They also suggest that it is important to be prepared for the possibility that people may show up in a state of hyperarousal and that it is important to have grace for those who are in that state. The scapegoating dynamic can lead to a blind spot in terms of understanding the full problem and potential solutions. It can also create a sense of division within a group. It can be helpful to think about your own culture and how it might be different from the dominant culture when you are trying to learn about and be sensitive to other cultures. It is also important to be curious and humble when asking questions about other cultures. This conversation between Josephine Jarvis and Taylor Wilmot is about the importance of approaching education with an openness to all different types of perspectives, and the role that educators can play in de-institutionalizing some of the harmful beliefs that are perpetuated in society. They discuss how everyone has a role to play in creating a more just and equitable world, and how we can all learn from each other by engaging in dialogue and critical inquiry.
