Why should humanities education persist in an AI age? Self-development, to start
Through self-development, or ‘Bildung’ in German thought, salon culture sought to resist absolutism and foster democratic discourse. This shaped the modern Western university.
“Students … experience thinking as a process which takes time and demands the exploration of different points of view — similar to democratic decision-making.”
Johannes Steizinger (McMaster Philosophy) on the vital democratic functions of a humanities education.

Wandering over from Threads. I'm Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning) and Associate Professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Sciences at McMaster University. I work to make science accessible, building bridges within the academy and into diverse communities ... but mostly here to doom scroll.

Figures are powerful tools for conveying key research hypotheses, methodologies, and outcomes in a way that makes them instantly accessible to reviewers. Well-crafted figures effectively communicate complex scientific research ideas at-a-glance.
