Send this to every university President in the country.

From Serena Jampel, one of the writing tutors I worked with at Harvard on the difference between the human tutor and AI and how a writing tutor can help a student find their voice. Lots of wisdom and also this truth: "the more you use it, the more you use it" www.harvardmagazine.com/commentary/h...

I’m not going to give any spoilers about what @standupforscience.net has cooking for this coming Wednesday (9/30) at 7 pm ET—but I will give homework! hdl.handle.net/1951/89089

I also am co-editing with @llassabe.bsky.social the book, Degrees of Liberation: Public History, Campus Activism, and the Fight for Educational Justice, under contract with SUNY Press. It examines Native, African American, Latine, and other groups’ activism as public history in higher education.

The last steps before launching something are always the hardest! But @csvacin.bsky.social and I are measuring a few times before cutting! Will let you know what we’re up to next week. (Actually, it’s two new things, but we need to get notice of the first out to campus governance leaders tonight!)
