DetailDr. Siobhán McElduff has created several open textbooks. Most recently, she worked with a team of CNERS students (Grace Guy, Danielle Lee, Keith Warner-Harder, James McKintrick, Sophie Roth, and Luoyao Zhang) to launch UnRoman Romans, an OER that brings together ancient sources on social outsiders in the Roman empire. This online anthology of sources explores depictions of those who did not fit in or were stigmatized in ancient Rome, from sexual minorities to ethnic groups to entertainers and beyond. Students in her CLST360E course later added to the project, each authoring a section or entry in the textbook. The book is an excellent resource on Romanitas in antiquity for individuals within or outside of the university, and a wonderful example of open pedagogy in action.
