 Subject: [Open-education] right to education in the global south: meet Mikhail Volchak

Greetings Open Education Friends:

I’d like to introduce Mikhail Volchak.He is a researcher at Essex University (UK) and is a member of CreativeCommons Belarus.  Mikhail is working on his masters dissertation re: the right to education in the Global South and how traditional copyright is inhibiting access. He is trying to connectwith people working on similar topics.

Mikhail asked that I forward this note: --------------- I make research about right toeducation in the global South. The main points it will reveal: (1) what barriers are created by copyright on access to learning material; (2) what tools from international Human Right law can be used for protecting the access and (3) what are pluses and minuses of existing solutions.

I would like to communicate with researchers, activists, teachers, librarians from or who works with the issue in developing countries. ---------------- I also suggested, to Mikhail, that he might join: http://go-gn.net
... and connect with the researchers at: http://roer.cemca.org.in/

Thank you for connecting with Mikhail at: fannrm at gmail.com

Warmest regards, Cable --
