As you look toward fall class, do two things for space and grace; . First, add two flex days to you syllabus. You can move the into place when you're sick when everyone needs a metal health day, when a concept needs a little more time. it takes pressure off when the unexpected happens (more)

I argue here that Black-centred speculative fiction is not just entertainment but a vital method for imagining our way beyond the racial and colonial structures that Euro-modern law struggles to overcome. As such, it should be an integral part of legal education. folukeafrica.com/law-racial-j...

Beyond the Colonial Ever-Present: Black-Centred Science Fiction and the Possibility of Racial Justice

Does the end of structural racism mean an end to the world as we know it?

1/ One point of speculation that I have is that “the media” turned against higher education as journalism became more like academic research and academics increasingly engaged with the media. The two professions increasingly saw themselves as in competition for social legitimacy.

I should have stopped reading when he opined about the struggle for the rights of a rich white man's dogs but I got to the part where he said "I then whacked this question into a climate destroying horoscope engine I just learned about called Chat Gee-Pee-Tee" humanistreview.ai/issue-1/suns...

Does AI Have Rights? A Legal Scholar Asked Claude About Its Feelings.

ChatGPT said no. Claude wasn't sure. Harvard's Cass R. Sunstein argues that the only thing that could give AI rights is still missing.

When we talk about AI in Education We may be talking about a form of Technological determinism Instrumentalism Anthropomorphism Socio-technical imaginary Political economy Cognitivism Which if it were an object might be a Force Tool Human Future Product Brain

When we talk about AI in Education We may be talking about a form of Technological determinism Instrumentalism Anthropomorphism Socio-technical imaginary Political economy Cognitivism Which if it were an object might be a Force Tool Human Future Product Brain AI is in things we say: AI is a powerful force, and we can't ignore it. It is up to us to harness it and use it wisely AI is a calculator on steroids. We will learn to use it just like we haveused other educational technologies. AI is like an intern or a co-pilot that can augment or complement human capabilities in education, but not replace them. The arrival of AI is like that of social media, oil or tobacco. It is pushed by big companies, and its long-term effects on us are as yet unknown Resisting AI is like going back to the Stone Age. Technology enhances and improves education when we use it intentionally and ethically. Using AI is like eating sausages. You don't want to know what it's made from, or what it's doing to your cognitive agency. AI is toothpaste that has come out of a tube. We can't get it back in, so we should learn to integrate it into our practice.

Looking forward to seeing if English forward Harald Cane cane drive his team forward and score a birdie-in-one as I get up to speed on not just the world cup but soccer itself all while rumours swirl that the US and FIFA presidents will perform a half time show together and that it will be NSFW!

Much academic paperwork is based the principle of scanning your own groceries - optimising systems by displacing labour. It works fine until "Unknown item detected in the bagging area!!" which briefly disrupts academics from their labours, toiling with PDF forms converted to mangled word documents

I swear I read something by Leigh Dale about how academics (at least Humanities) used to think of ourselves primarily as teachers and scholars, and research (in the sense of knowledge production/publication) only became a core value in the 1980s. I can't find it now! Ring any bells for anyone?

". In discussions about Al, an experiential element is sometimes offered as both an uncomplicated requisite and a simultaneous cause of learning. (Velander, Örtegren, & Sperling 2026)"

A phenomenon I've noticed recently is people trying to occupy some untenable middleground wrt to the use of systems sold as "AI" -- this is a position where people try to recognize the harms of this tech but also hold space for "responsible" or "ethical" use. 🧵>>
