Kudos to the 13 publishers who are taking action against this website that is alleged to be pirating books (including #science textbooks), then selling them to developers of large language model AI systems and data brokers. #AcademicSky #Authors #Piracy

Florida's ban on sociology from gen ed requirements is a concerning attack on critical thinking in higher education. Sociology teaches students to analyze social structures, inequality, and power—skills essential for understanding our tech-driven world. #AcademicSky #sociology

This is deeply troubling for higher education. Removing sociology from core curriculum eliminates critical thinking about how technology, AI, and social systems intersect. Students need these analytical tools more than ever in our data-driven world. #AcademicSky #sociology

Morley's "Dream Facades" offers a compelling sociological analysis of reality TV's constructed narratives and their broader cultural implications. Essential reading for anyone studying media power structures and social performance. #sociology #AcademicSky thebookconnectionccm.blogspot.com/202...

This is deeply concerning for academic freedom and the social sciences. Removing sociology from core curriculum eliminates critical thinking about how society, technology, and institutions shape our lives - knowledge that's essential in our data-driven world. #AcademicSky #sociology

Dear #NoKings and #language friends:

Do you have photos of #multilingual protest signs (at least partially in a language other than English) from any U.S.-based No Kings rally yesterday? I’m doing a small project and would be grateful for any examples 🙏🏻

Nonfiction Publishing, Under Threat, Is More Important Than Ever Cuts in publishing and book reviewing imperil the future of narrative nonfiction, and our understanding of the world around us.

Weapons research gets funded without question. University presses, the ones taking risks commercial publishers won't, can't get sustained investment?

Nonfiction publishing is under threat at exactly the wrong moment.

Read this thread. When I was on the REB at Queen's, I challenged applications from disciplines that used gig work platforms to do big surveys cheaply (looking at you, Psychology, and Business). I argued for minimum legal wage rates. That failed, but we did agree compensation standards. #AcademicSky

The author of this op-ed is from a college that does no research and offers only courses in a limited range of currently marketable subjects. That's fine, but that's not what a university is, or what it is for. If we think #universities have value, we need to make the case for them. #AcademicSky

How AI English and human English differ – and how to decide when to use artificial language A linguist explains what makes human English human, and why you shouldn’t overdo it with large language models.

How AI English and human English differ — and how to decide when to use artificial language

Authors Chad M. Topaz, Anvi Kurongonayini, Bennett Ptak, Arden Fluehr, Ariana Mendible, Rachel Roca, Nancy Rodríguez, Lu Xian, Régan Schwartz, Jude Higdon Abstract Five countries account for over 80% of Nobel Prize–winning discoveries. Because high-prestige recognition redirects resources and talent, such concentration can be self-reinforcing, yet whether it originates in institutional design or individual evaluator behavior is unknown. We decomposed Nobel selection into a five-layer network spanning 8,134 individuals, 514,111 edges, and five prize categories (1901–1975). The Swedish and Norwegian bodies that oversee Nobel selection assembled a geographically diverse nominator pool, yet within it, nominators select same-country nominees 4.85 times as often as expected (p < 0.001), from 8.58 times in Literature to 3.01 times in Physics. This concentration persisted as the nominee pool diversified over seven decades. Geographic sorting enters at the discretionary nomination decision, not the institutional pipeline—a specific, targetable point in the selection process.

🚨 80% of Nobel Prizes go to folx in 5 countries. Why?

We analyzed 75 years of prize committees, nominators, nominees, and laureates... a network of 500k edges. Turns out nominators choose compatriots at 5x the expected rate — amplifying geographic bias.

2025 English Social Mobility Index: #highered #academicsky

Despite the progress that has been made in widening access to higher education over the last fifteen years, long-standing inequalities both in access and outcomes persist for many disadvantaged learners. Institutions need to do more, both individually and collectively, to close the access and outcome gaps for these learners, and I hope that LSBU’s Social Mobility Index continues to provide a helpful tool for universities to understand the efficacy of their approaches to supporting disadvantaged students.
