The Way Out by Rebecca Buxton, Samuel Ritholtz - Hardcover Scholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.

It's officially publication day for our book, The Way Out. Sam and I have worked on this since we first put our heads together in 2019, and it's fair to say that the context shifted under our feet as we were writing and thinking.

Han er afhængig af opioider på femte år: »Det er en ond cirkel, for jeg tager det bare for at være normal« For fem år siden tilbød en ven ham tramadol. Siden har han levet i et helvede, som han ikke kan bryde ud af.

Jeg arbejder for tiden med at afdække afhængigheden af opioider. I den forbindelse har jeg interviewet en ung mand, der er afhængig af tramadol på femte år. Artiklen er åben, for manden vil have den ud til så mange som muligt. Del gerne blandt unge.

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI

So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to)

@drrobertchapman.bsky.social I think you would really appreciate this work!

Short intro to Kjerte's work: balkaninsight.com/2023/04/20/h...

Today in my class at University of Copenhagen, Emil Kjerte presented the main findings from his PhD Dissertation, Clark University, on Ustahe guards in Jasenovac. Highly recommend looking into this work and his detailed microstudies of dehumanization and brutalization.
