Open Textbook Author Launch Party

Join the University Library as we celebrate the completion of three open textbooks by DePaul faculty and instructors. Faculty authors will introduce their new textbooks and speak about their experience with developing an open textbook. The presentation will be followed by refreshments with a beer and wine bar.

In 2024 DePaul University Library received a $150,000 Illinois Secretary of State/Illinois State Library OER Grant to facilitate the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) to address textbook affordability and promote student success. Join us to celebrate the work of the following authors:

Decentering Theater Histories by Coya Paz Brownrigg, Reza Mirsajadi, Emilio Williams (The Theatre School)

Business and Professional Communication by Kristen Pengelly (Communications Studies)

Back of the Yards: Histories & Contexts of a Chicago Neighborhood by Aaron Lefkovitz (History Department)
