I'm aware that many of you are probably doing the same, whether as individuals or as larger groups! I'd love your thoughts, suggestions and ideas. I'm doing this to inform my own practice, but it would also be great to create a resource for anyone who wants to navigate this challenge non-punitively
Fellow #professors & #educators: as an abolitionist, I'm uneasy with the punitive role we're being increasingly asked to play in addressing AI cheating by students. I'm working on a set of guidelines for addressing this issue based on #transformativejustice principles docs.google.com/document/d/1...
📰 I have a new paper out with Peter Sands @anthropocenebio.bsky.social in Society & Animals - setting out the idea of a #PoliticalEcology of reanimating to understand current trends in #rewilding through the lens of individual animal lives brill.com/view/journal...
It's grading season, so there's lots of talk of AI cheating. But to all those #students who are NOT using #AI in unethical ways on your assignments: we see you, and we hear you - connecting with your distinct voices is part of what makes university teaching meaningful (for you and for your profs).
⏰just under 2 weeks to go until the closing date, 12 April ⏰ we have added more info to the FAQs to help applicants prepare ⬇️
Yes! Same for at least some of us mid- and older millennials. Am suddenly very glad to have been taught cursive in school - no AI can decode my chicken-scrawl!
