Florida’s bill to “reform” #highed is right out of a fascist playbook. Attacks on education are attacks on democracy.

“House Bill 999 proposes leaving all faculty hiring to boards of trustees, allowing a faculty member’s tenure to be reviewed “at any time,” and removing majors or minors in subjects like critical race theory and gender studies. It would also prohibit spending on activities that promote diversity, equity and inclusion and create new general education requirements.”

As Musk reshapes Twitter, academics ponder taking flight | Science / @kakape

“(...) Many researchers are setting up profiles on social media site Mastodon (...)

[W]ith uncertainty about how Twitter will change under Musk, many of the thousands of medical and scientific experts on the platform have started to look for alternatives or are considering giving up on social media altogether. (...)”

I forgot to mention this week that the ASA (American Sociological Association) has updated their citation manual. I am going to be busy at work this term. I update our citation resources. I honestly do not know what they will do when I graduate. No one else wants this job. Not bragging; people hate working on citations.

This 22-year-old is trying to save us from ChatGPT before it changes writing forever

Curious to hear thoughts: with #podcasts becoming increasingly popular and covering ever wide-ranging topics, will this type of informal/social teaching/learning gain ground over more traditional academic content delivery?

I get a sense something is shifting and #highed faculty ought to pay attention.

Dr. Lindsay Smith from @ASU_SFIS@twitter.com starts the session on pedagogical and mentorship impacts "Critical Transformations" in #SFISWinterSchool reflecting about visions and communities #STS #Teaching #HighEd #Transformations

Anyone have particularly well-formed thoughts on the implications of AI for pedagogy? We've already gotten two questions from faculty about chatGPT prior to this term starting, I imagine more will follow. To be clear, people aren't especially worried, and want to focus on understanding & ethical use of AI, which is great to hear. Also I love that their intuition was "the library must know something about AI" lol, we are doing something right. #ai #openai #education #highed

#MastIndia will anyone be willing to have a detailed conversation with me on their experiences with traditional #schooling and #HighEd? I'm collecting experiences to help kick start a broader conversation around the #IndianEducationSystem with the help of #TheEducationProject matrix space.

Indian (Asian) participants are encouraged but global data will also be appreciated!
