Peter Dain Suber (born November 8, 1951) is a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, director of the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication[4] and the Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP).[5][1][6] Suber is a leading voice in the open access movement.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Education
Suber graduated from Earlham in 1973, received a PhD degree in philosophy in 1978 on Søren Kierkegaard[16] and a Juris Doctor degree in 1982, both from Northwestern University.
Career
Previously, Suber was senior research professor of philosophy at Earlham College, the open access project director at Public Knowledge, a senior researcher at Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)),[17] . He is a member of the Board of Enabling Open Scholarship[18] , the Advisory Boards at the Wikimedia Foundation, the Open Knowledge Foundation, and the advisory boards of other organizations devoted to open access and an information commons.
Suber worked as a stand-up comic from 1976 to 1981, including an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1976. Suber returned to Earlham College as a professor from 1982 to 2003 where he taught classes on philosophy, law, logic, and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, among other topics.
Suber participated in the 2001 meeting that led to the world's first major international open access initiative, the Budapest Open Access Initiative. He writes Open Access News and the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, considered the most authoritative blog and newsletter on open access. He is also the founder of the Open Access Tracking Project, and co-founder, with Robin Peek, of the Open Access Directory.
In philosophy, Suber is the author of The Paradox of Self-Amendment[19], the first book-length study of self-referential paradoxes in law, and The Case of the Speluncean Explorers: Nine New Opinions[20], the first book-length "rehearing" of Lon Fuller's classic, fictional case. He has also written many articles on self-reference, ethics, formal and informal logic, the philosophy of law, and the history of philosophy,[21] and many articles on open access to science and scholarship.[22] His latest book is Open Access.[2]
Honours and awards
Lingua Franca magazine named Suber one of Academia's 20 Most Wired Faculty in 1999.[23] The American Library Association named him the winner of the Lyman Ray Patterson Copyright Award for 2011.[3]
