This is very true! Word on the street is that people are assigning my @dukepress.bsky.social book Inventing Nadar this fall and I can hardly believe it (my book! in a graduate seminar! in an undergraduate lecture course!) Very excited to zoom into a few class rooms over the coming weeks and months.
PSA: you know what scholars love? Talking about their books! You know what you can do? Invite them to your class to do so. It’s great! You absolutely do not have to use AI or tell students to use AI to understand their books. You can get the actual real life person to help with that! For free!
