Reflections on the Black Lives Matter Movement
Author and educator, Angela Provitera McGlynn, has long been concerned with equity and justice, having written about it extensively. It’s no surprise that she had some reflections during this monumental time. She offers us an essay in which she states: Black Lives Matter is not merely a moment in time; it is a movement with the potential to be transformative. The systemic racism that spurred people to protest is built into the very fabric of all our institutions through policies, practices, and laws.... It will take much more than “reform” to eradicate the hundreds of years of oppression and unequal opportunity. It will take big structural changes, reparations, and dismantling and rebuilding.

Open Access Our classic title, Distance Leaners in Higher Education, is now available as Open Access. It is the book that informed much of current practice in distance teaching and learning. And, how has a title stayed so current for so long? Perhaps, it is because it focuses not on the phenominal technology that proliferates so rapidly, but on the human dimension of the teaching/learning process. Educators continue to weigh the technology in relation to good teaching practices. This book paved the way for that continuing conversation.
