If you're a member of @mybisa.bsky.social (or considering joining) and fancy a workshop on astropolitics in Durham in December, do come along! I'm looking for proper papers/draft work and will organise discussants to give proper feedback! We have methods and publishing sessions planned also.

A social sciences and humanities reading list on AI in education 🧵

New article published in @risjnl.bsky.social critiques the oft-repeated idea that 'we' are living in Age of Anxiety. I ask: who is the 'we'? A planetary we? Or an insecure (but provincial) Western-liberal subject?

I just deleted my account from Academia.edu because they started generating AI slop - "podcasts" and "reviews" - based on my papers and profile. No notice, no message offering an opt-out. This is disgusting. FYI if you also don't want your intellectual property used for AI #academicsky #EDUsky

Two years ago, the Sycamore Gap Tree was cut down in the dead of night. Responses to this "act of vandalism" made us think about the role of nature in ontic space, and dualism between human and non/human allows for destruction of nature.

May 2025 was the second warmest May on record after 2024, at around 1.4C above preindustrial levels in the ERA5 dataset. NH summer months generally show a bit less warming since preindustrial, as the world has warmed faster in winter months.

I have often been asked about the reasons for the Czech Republic’s uncritical support of Israeli actions.

I could rant & rant about it, but really want everyone to know how rubbish & laborious & ineffective academic publishing is becoming. If there is a next time, I will 100% be asking to choose my own copy-editor before a contract (or checking for in-house) - & looking to non-exploitative publishers

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI.
