Clones in the classroom: why universities must be wary of embracing AI-driven teaching tools Big EdTech is increasingly filling a gap left by university underfunding. But tertiary stakeholders must question whether such “solutions” really contribute to a university education.

Since anthropic announced its new university AI release this week, it’s worth circulating my “Clones in the Classroom” article. Silicon Valley AI are predatory EdTech companies designed to Hoover up public funding for education instead of investing in teachers theconversation.com/clones-in-th...

Postgrad students—this one's for you!

The Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain (PESGB) is hosting its 2025 Summer School at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, from 23-27 June 2025!
1/

A research project flyer from the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA) titled "What is going on in Philosophy of Education in Teacher Education? A review of philosophy of education taught in Higher Education programs in Australia." The flyer invites applications for Co-Researcher/Research Associate (Post-Doctoral) positions. The purpose of the project is outlined, emphasizing the identification of philosophy of education offerings in higher education, mapping teaching practices, and informing future research. The approach involves a comparative review over 12 months, including a desktop review, surveys, and expert interviews. The flyer also details the criteria for recognizing experts in the field, listing categories such as professors, academic experts, and PhD/postdoc students. The PESA logo is at the top, and the document has a watermark across it.

A continuation of the PESA Research Pilot Project flyer detailing the project design, role description, and available positions. The text explains that the project will enable concurrent phases leading into expert reflections on philosophy of education teaching, perceptions of the field, and its reception in higher education. The role description outlines responsibilities for co-researchers, including refining the pilot project, obtaining ethics approvals, collaborating on research reports, developing project tools, summarizing findings, and contributing to publications. The flyer states that fractional contract positions for post-doctoral co-researchers are available for up to 18 months from August 2025 to February 2026, with flexible workload fractions. The positions are open to PESA members only. Contact information for further inquiries is provided, along with the PESA logo at the bottom. A watermark is visible across the document.

A page from the PESA Research Project EOI (Expression of Interest) Application. The document contains a table labeled "Applicant Details," with fields for surname, forenames, title, PESA membership confirmation, current position, institution, full postal address, daytime telephone number, and email address. Below the table, a section outlines criteria for applicants, including the ability to work independently at a post-doctoral level, research skills relevant to the project, a track record of publications or grant applications, experience in philosophy of education teaching or research, familiarity with Australian higher education contexts, and submission of a full academic CV. The PESA logo appears at the top, and a watermark is visible across the page.

This special issue invites papers that explore and open out the relationship between cinema and education. It begins with the provocation that cinema, or at least cinematic experience, might predate education as the latter has been configured within the Western tradition. Like cinematic experience, educational experience may have much older and more mysterious forms. This special issue will investigate those forms whilst also asking how education and cinema might be brought into more critically productive relations today, and how each might serve to question the other’s presuppositions. Format and timelines: Submit your abstract of 200-300 words to a.allen@sheffield.ac.uk Abstract submission: 28 February 2025 Contribution confirmation: 14 March 2025 First submission date: 30 June 2025 Reviews due: 29 August 2025 Final versions due: 28 November 2025

How a special interest group took over the refresh of the New Zealand curriculum This is a scandal. I have spent the last week diving into the documents released through an OIA request made by the New Zealand Association for Teachers of English. Attached is my write up. Please …

Here’s how Aotearoa NZ’s education system was captured by a right-wing think tank in late 2023 and early 2024.
