I've been working with technology in HE for more than 40 years & a member of NTEU for 20. This new essay piece by Cory Doctorow is timely, readable and important. I'd recommend drawing it to the attention of every NTEU branch, today.

When I was reflecting on my career for my retirement conference I realised it was built on three things I was advised no respectable philosophy academic should do

1 Write texts for students

2 Write collaborative public policy reports

3 Co-author philosophical research

My advice. Do your thing.

Extract from a new book, citing Markauskaite & Goodyear (2017) on epistemic fluency. Defined as: Epistemic fluency is the capacity to understand, switch between, and combine different kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing about the world. It involves being able to integrate theoretical, practical, and tacit knowledge, and to apply these flexibly in real-world problem-solvingβ€”especially in complex, interdisciplinary, or intercultural contexts.

It is *always* a buzz seeing other people, in other fields, on other parts of the planet, pick up on ideas one has had a hand in researching. #EpistemicFluency #ProfessionalEducation
