What I like about the framework approach is that you can use any of the approaches as a tool without treating it as epistemically binding the way you would a theory. It's like being able to use a hammer without committing to the idea that everything is a nail. These frameworks offer slightly different approaches to the same problem: how to actually not be racist in online course and content development. It seems like a simple task, but for people (like me) who grew up in a sea of racist tropes and practices, it takes special care to avoid doing things like using diminutive stereotypes or abbreviations like BAME or BICOP that lump all non-white people into a single category.
