Giving a master class on how to deal with these ridiculous attacks on academic freedom.

It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.
Reading a copy of a book I’ve been teaching since the age of the course pack. Bring pack the course pack.
Amazing. Also, love the letterhead program. My close reading is that it faintly and ironically echoes the residual genre of the campus visit itinerary.

Thanks, Nathan! We’ll reconnect soon!
We're launching a new Tidewater Initiative at JHU. Our research group on working waterfronts and coastal infrastructures includes a new student research lab, courses, programming partnerships with the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, and more in the works. sites.krieger.jhu.edu/tidewater/
My poet friend told me all I do is talk about ports these days. Can’t wait to tell her about this interaction. 😂
Recusatio?
AI is the intellectual equivalent of styrofoam: it’s cheap and easy for the individual user, but poisoning the ecosystem for everyone forever.
Something about the way LLMs build in the idea that to find something out, you shouldn't read an already existing text that other people have also read (ew!); you should get fresh text generated just for you. Each time, new disposable text.
Friendly reminder that Instructure, parent company of Canvas, is owned by KKR, a private equity firm that purchased it for $4.8 billion last November.
I’ve never seen that Robert Bechtle before :)
RIP Alice Notley whose poems are a Grave of Light
