Thanks, Dr.K 🙏

Thanks, Bret. It’s been a pretty heartbreaking few weeks—and years—in higher ed. We need to at least know what the landscape and tactics look like as we even attempt to push back.

The latest Pasts Imperfect is out, focused on the closing of humanities depts. & museums. @otavano.bsky.social discusses the U. of Ottawa, @mokersel.bsky.social on the DePaul Art Museum, @meirazk.bsky.social & @vox-magica.bsky.social on shuttering religious studies depts, & Justin Vorhis on U. Iowa.

Well, they are central to the story.

Thank you! 🙏 We try and do one yearly. Takes a lot of work but we do want to respond to history if we can. Teachable moments ftw

Shaily Patel writes: “The other lesson I learned is that we must keep doing this work, particularly because it is being devalued. Just this term, I’ve spoken with several students who chose their major because they felt pre-professional pressure. Their experiences align with broader educational trends. Naturally, I cannot single-handedly mitigate rampant careerism, change the minds of parents or politicians, or rewrite self-fulfilling media narratives of the humanities in decline. As it stands, I cannot even recruit students into the major that I myself found so fulfilling.

In the face of all this scholarly destruction, I still think educators must do what we can. I can certainly impart to students the value of learning for learning’s sake, to see the worth of intellectual play as opposed to mere skill mastery. And I can hope that they will sustain a love of learning even as they settle into their respective career trajectories. I never intend to prepare my students for this world, after all; I want them to imagine better ones. Perhaps they will build a world that does not leverage learning only for career prospects, one that rewards curiosity, one that invests in civic goods like public universities.”

I found this by @vox-magica.bsky.social in today‘s Pasts Imperfect very moving because in the face of senseless cuts, it doesn’t rush to provide hope or advice beyond stating the necessity of continuing doing what we are doing.

headline that says RFK blasts Dunkin' as Healey Replies, "come and take it."

This is the absolute only instance of Molon Labe (μολὼν λαβέ = "come and take it") that I will ever condone. 🍩 Thank you for your attention to this donutist matter.

I mean, we all see that attrition is a tactic. But because it is moving so slowly, it is a long game. If you want to write more on this, let me know.

We love her! And you!

Le programme d’Antiquité grecque et romaine encore suspendu C’est la deuxième fois en moins de quatre mois que l’Université d’Ottawa décide de suspendre le programme d’Antiquité grecque et romaine offert en français.

Antiquité grecque et romaine : Dominique Côté a confirmé avec le vice-recteur à la francophonie que le programme « était désigné [en vertu] de cette loi ontarienne » (LSF).
L'Université cite un «avis juridique» pour passer outre.
