Got this email earlier and I’m still upset about it. Some unnamed “team from #Northwestern, #Stanford & #Cornell” fed our preprint through their “#AI" to generate "suggestions" on how we could improve it.
This feels like some really shit #HCI study that seems to think asking for consent is optional. And like one that wants to spin out into an even shittier start-up in the future (hence not giving any names of team members)?
Nothing says "We care about accessibility and equity for disabled people in STEM like 'Go to Google and let their AI handle it"" #Ableism#DisabledAndSTEM
He complained about the high price of parking. He disputed the President's numbers in a "cordial" but "tense" public meeting on the topic. He turned over the research documenting his numbers. Two and a half weeks later, the provost fired him, explaining that Tarleton State University would not "tolerate intolerable behavior."

Thanks for this link. People who sign up for leadership positions in higher ed and have not the smallest tolerance for dissent or discomfort are truly baffling to me. I hope this (by all accounts) fine teacher lands well somewhere else.
Yesterday I finished writing a research paper that I've been working on (as time permitted) for about the last 9 months or so.
The only thing left to do is find a journal or conference to send it to.
Is it better to submit it to a journal, or should I wait until next year for a conference? There's follow-up work that I plan to do, but the paper is already pretty condensed, so I'm not sure if expanding it before submitting somewhere makes sense.
@floe@academicchatter Yeah, it's CS - geometry specifically. I should probably have included that... :)
I just missed the deadline for the CGVC conference (https://cgvc.org.uk), and was considering IEEE Access as the journal. If the dates worked for me then I'd look at GRAPP (https://grapp.scitevents.org/).
Unfortunately I've not published many papers, so I don't have a good feel for selecting the right "level" of conference/journal.
Put together some promo flyers for the Honors' course The History of History that I am scheduled to teach in the fall. Because, who can say no to Dolores Huerta with a megaphone? No one can. No one, I say. 😆
you will remember that i had recently complained about “humanities commons” becoming “knowledge commons”, admitting myself first that it was kinda petty
but turns out, i was not! cos now, they are adding “AI” into the mix… that’s the last straw for me. i have asked for an account deletion
i hadn’t noticed the november update it mentions in there
Research-based tips for professors and administrators:
> Set norms and expectations about the conversation, not just rules
> Allow students to tell their stories, when they first heard about the issue and how it affected them
> Encourage curiosity by posing non-threatening questions
> Find out the root of the disagreement
> Find cooperative projects for students to act on
> Offer students a safe space after debates to talk and feel reassured https://theconversation.com/6-ways-to-foster-political-discourse-on-college-campuses-230365 @academicchatter

We're releasing today another bonus clip from behind the Patreon paywall. This originally was produced by Christina as a bonus clip to follow the early release of S5E5; supporters on Patreon at the Companion tier and higher gain access to bonus content that is either excerpted from episodes or prompted by their content every other week. Here is the original description:
"I didn't have any extra clips from the interview with the organizers of The Solarpunk Conference. Instead, here's me (Christina) reading my contribution to The Solarpunk Conference Journal that was published after last year's conference.
Enjoy!
PS- you can catch videos of many of the presentations from the conference on The Solarpunk Conference's YouTube channel (including the presentation/panel that @arielkroon was a part of)."
Me: I have no idea how to fit this much stuff in the short amount of time I have before summer holidays. So many loose ends to tie up in the next 3 weeks.
Also me: Accepts invitation to write a book chapter to be submitted this time next year because then I'll surely have time.
@renordquist@academicchatter yes, that's the way it is in academia. I still have some deadlines before the holidays, and every year I say to myself: next year, you will do it differently...
