Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Many thanks to CHANSE & HERA and @researchireland.bsky.social for supporting 'Home in Crisis'. It's already such a joy to be working with and learning from @miriamcullen.bsky.social @dinalupin.bsky.social & Hugo Reinert, and our brilliant partners.

Thankfully, a lot has changed since 1867. Whereas once the doctrines of discovery and terra tullius legitmised such things, as a matter of international law, such actions would now, now at least, contravene it.

The idea that Greenland, and by implication its people, can be reduced to a sales transaction contravenes the right to self-determination, principles of equity and non-discrimination, and gives an air of legitimacy to unlawful imperialist endeavours. This “sales” language has to stop.

Global sea-ice extent ranked by month from 1979 through 2024.
Nothing blue since since 2015!
Within the recent nine years, every month has experienced a record-low extent.

Wonderful to be back in the land of magic skies. Much to discuss at Greenland Science Week on human rights and science (especially Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the context of dominant science and coloniality)

Just sent to UCL Press. Here's the contents page of the volume 'Structural Justice and the Law' co-edited by @vmantouvalou.bsky.social and myself. Appearing Open Access next year. Very proud of the volume and the superb papers (which I can say as none of them are by me.)

Will be speaking on the main stage at Greenland Science Week Conference( 8-9 Nov) on the Human Right to Science. Registration and program here: www.scienceweek.gl The conference fee is high, making the presentation all the more relevant really

Me too
