"We really need to work on the ethical implications of AI!" OK, cool, about how it's making poor people's lives worse? "... No" About how it's destroying education? "No not that" OK so which ethical implications are you talking about? "Oh, you know the ones ;)"

There is a massive amount of research and literature on needed reforms to universities that nobody at The Atlantic, New York Times, New Yorker, or in the "thought industry" want to talk about or even pretend exists. Wonder why! www.press.jhu.edu/books/series...

I've been watching for the past decade as people in my circle & beyond have been declining (employment, income, quality of life). First it was precarity. Now the process is faster. People are moving into borderline poverty. I don't recall this rate of decline before. news.gallup.com/poll/702125/...

The percentage of U.S. adults who anticipate high-quality lives in five years declined to 59.2% in 2025, the lowest level since measurement began in 2008.

Happy Saturday, friends. Obnoxiously re-upping the news that I won’t be writing a column for the Chronicle anymore but I hope you’ll still read and share my 10 pieces. And who knows, maybe someday I’ll spin and build them into something longer (a…book?? Sounds hard LOL).

Friends, authors, fellow dissidents--a quick FYI: I won't be writing for the Chronicle anymore. I took a hiatus to deal w/ Life Things & they're no longer running regular columns, which is a-OK. BUT you can still read the 10 publishing advice columns I DID write: www.chronicle.com/author/rebec...

I loved talking with @ryantopper.bsky.social about our recent books. Interested in the structures and possibilities that literature builds? In literary criticism and critical theory? In African studies, postcolonial anglophone literature, psychoanalysis, or the law? We have all this and more!

Thomas and Barbara Metcalf have been so important to the study of South Asia, for decades. Thomas was influential in shaping and informing South Asian and British imperial studies at Cal and the wider world. He will be missed. southasia.berkeley.edu/news/remembe...

Percolating on my fall theory course & would love to hear: what single essay (or chapter of a book) makes theory (interpreted however you like) or intellectual / aesthetic infrastructures concrete in ways that have stuck with you & / or you really admire? Example: Barbara Johnson, “Muteness Envy.”
