Today I'm doing a talk about Women and the (early) Gothic and it might be time for a list!

So here are ten early women writers of the Gothic to give an idea of the range of things that women were creating in the period!

I’m shilling CLOSE READING FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY hard because I’m so proud of it β€”specifically because it, like every close reading, is the product of a community and an offering to a community.
@dan-sinnamon.bsky.social
and I collaborated with each other and also 22 brilliant contributors.

Say it often, say it loud:

"Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

I’m starting a new AI consulting company called It’s Not Going To Work, LLC. Here’s how it works. You give me $100,000, I tell you β€œIt’s not going to work”(TM), you save $1M+ in wasted contracts, lots of wasted effort, and embarrassment. It’s a good deal. Try it out.

No way of knowing for sure, but I think I once disqualified myself from consideration for a TT job at a SLAC because I asked about opportunities to teach/mentor students in the joint English major/ed degree. Whole tone of conversation soured. Anyways I work in K12 ed now.

You’ll be shocked to hear that their recommendation is not limiting the circumstances in which AI is deployed, but rather accepting the inevitability it will occasionally have catastrophic effects.

I don't use feedback on my writing from an LLM because it can't read and I write for readers. When students say they find LLM feedback "helpful" what are we signaling about what's important about their writing? Helpful for what goal? Helpful how? What values are being reinforced?

This articulates something I’ve been feeling about even the most well-meaning and careful LLM integrations into classroomsβ€”don’t we want our students to learn to interact with each other?!

I curate the history series at public media's journal Current. We're looking for pieces on the history of NPR & PBS, educational, community, and affiliate stations. We accept academic articles repurposed for wide readership. Plus, we pay. Please circulate! current.org/series/rewind/

Different level but same here. I forget these are different platforms & all of that history is now gone. But I did all the things - flipped classrooms, in-class cellphone surveys, test design, meta cognition blogging. I learned Omeka, GitHub, Libre, wikis etc etc

And here we all are.

I point this out for clarity. I also have a long-term interest in how my crafting of ideas is sometimes confused for the very serious idea being crafted. So to be clear: AI is political attack on labor with few limited cases for social value and an absolute ecological disaster.
