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 used to teach and research; now I teach and play UFO 50.

stack of copies of CLOSE READING FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Iβm shilling CLOSE READING FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY hard because Iβm so proud of it βspecifically because it, like every close reading, is the product of a community and an offering to a community.

and I collaborated with each other and also 22 brilliant contributors.

"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."

Iβm starting a new AI consulting company called Itβs Not Going To Work, LLC. Hereβs how it works. You give me $100,000, I tell you βItβs not going to workβ(TM), you save $1M+ in wasted contracts, lots of wasted effort, and embarrassment. Itβs a good deal. Try it out.

12.09.2025 15:30 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I 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?

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.
