But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Excited to be working on my book talks schedule!

I'll be at UNC Chapel Hill to give a talk on my forthcoming book next week. If you're based in the research triangle, please consider joining!

Seriously!

There is just no way to put everything into one article.

We're a liberal arts teaching university. Very collegial department. Spread the word to interested folks. I'm happy to answer questions!

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

If you are an academic who wants to write a general interest book, you should be making a habit of reading general interest books *in a field that’s not yours.* I.e., if you’re a historian of the 19th century US, you should be reading about colonizing Mars or cannibalistic bugs, not medieval Europe.

I know it's cheesy but I still like Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences.

I would love to be added!!

Woke up this morning to a book contract in my inbox 😭😄😱
