Well this is a new one for me. My research was apparently cited in an essay but this research doesn’t exist. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

How do other markers get past the demoralising feeling of yet another AI-generated essay? #highereducation

Pretty amazing that over 1000 ANU staff and students turned up to the meeting about the VC’s resignation with only two hour’s notice. Hope Chancellor Julie Bishop is feeling the heat πŸ”₯

This is so accurate that it’s frankly offensive

12 concurrent conference streams is objectively too many.

Yes! That’s what the academic is arguing in that opinion piece. Very worrying for someone who talks so much about power in their theories.

Reckoning with Foucault’s alleged sexual abuse of boys in Tunisia We need to address the reports about the French philosopher’s predatory behaviour in Tunisia.

Is Foucault done? Who are people citing for these ideas instead? TW for article: child sexual abuse

I sat through on so many interview panels and the ideas of the applicants were BRILLIANT. Some had to develop a whole subject from scratch and present it. This is at least a weeks worth of unpaid labour.

So applicants have to put in so much free time to develop course content or research plans for academic job interviews. We (as hirers) should be paying them an honorarium for this time or not ask interview processes to be so onerous. #academicsky

Stoked to have been moved to a continuing (tenured) position at the Faculty of Arts Unimelb. I work with the very best people and love being here. Pinching myself. #academicsky #edusky

AcademicSky and #edusky : do you know of anyone doing work on Indigenous understandings of conceptualising and/or measuring risk? Looking to understand more in decolonising risk, struggling to find much...

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. But if I can get everything I need from SSPS (or even excel), then what can the database provide? Not trying to pick away, just genuinely interested!

I don’t understand how excel is any better or worse than storing as a csv file or an SPSS file?

I only remember seeing the study on how children were still able to discern emotions from their early childhood educators when they were wearing masks. I can try to find it if needed!
