Thank you Karen, hoping for a proper 'seeing you' in 2025 😃

Enumerating AI effects in education Photo by Igor Omilaev on Unsplash Over recent weeks, controversy has surfaced over research publications claiming to show statistical evidence that generative AI has beneficial effects on learning.…

A race is on to produce statistical evidence of the effects of AI in education. It's leading to a rush of viral studies that play well on social media but don't stand up so well to methodological scrutiny. New post codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/e...

Very sad 😢

Great episode on a fantastic and important book — very much looking forward to discussing it with @williammparis.bsky.social himself tomorrow in Berlin!

Berta Lask - Thomas Müntzer — Rab-Rab Press

In 1925, Berta Lask wrote a play to mark the 400th anniversary of the German Peasants’ War. In it, she imagines Thomas Müntzer waking up every hundred years to address the contemporary political situation.

Sam Dolbear has translated it - happy May Day 🌈🌈🌈

The thread below captures my point why the end of 'The Substance' with its blood spilling and screaming makes sense to some - and not to others.

#MichelAglietta passed away. He was a crucial figure in the 1970s and early 1980s for those working at the intersection of #Marx, #money, #unequaldevelopment, #stagesofcapitalism (and later international currency). The early #regulationschool was in dialogue with #SuzannedeBrunhoff. /1

Looking forward to speaking at @britsoci.bsky.social
"Science, Technology & Digital" Plenary this Wednesday, April 23rd. Come along if you're attending the conference.

Thanks Ben as ever for sharing and keeping us op to speed. Mind blowing to see the gap between your & others' critical debates on the political economy of AI in Ed and institutional ignorance (nor surprises though)

The pain of doing business under Trump Buckling to a volatile administration has costs that are only starting to become apparent

The number of shoppers visiting Target stores has fallen for nine weeks in a row since it pulled back from DEI initiatives it had long promoted

In contrast, footfall has kept growing at Costco, which fought a shareholder proposal aimed at undermining DEI initiatives

"we should shed the idea that AI is a technological artifact with political features & recognize it as a political artifact through & through. AI is an ideological project to shift authority & autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power"
