I'm glad to be in Lund tomorrow for this exciting summer school on the history of knowledge, before heading further north this weekend. 🏕

Also took the obligatory tourist photo in Copenhagen today.✌️

Four copies of a book titled "Network Analysis for Book Historians"

Author copies arrived today! 😍🥳

I’m thrilled to share my first-ever academic publication, in volume 10 of Philological Encounters, entitled “The Philological Philanthropy of Muḥammad Naṣīf (1885–1971): Arabic Editions, Salafi Islam, and State-making in the Hijaz.” doi.org/10.1163/2451...

It works fine for me.

This photo montage is so cool!

Hey if you‘re someone who does that I will never work with you again and tell everyone

Ah, schade! Hab ich leider zu spät gesehen, dass man sich vorher per Mail anmelden musste ... :(

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester

They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar

SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

I also saw that you decided to move your papers to Hcommons. But, honestly, I am tired of moving from platform to platform and recreating my network. Maybe it's time for the #indieweb, where everyone has their own website and puts their papers there?

Is there no way to opt out of this? Did we ever consent to having our papers processed by AI? This is outrageous!!!

Seems generous to me 😉They sent me an e-mail asking for a review within three days. It's scam, isn't it?

Reminder: Only 4 days left! The deadline for submissions is this Sunday, June 1.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

The University of Murcia is offering an Erasmus+ traineeship for a Standard and Native Moroccan Arabic speaker graduate to develop his/her skills as a language assistant with interest in the application of the Integrated Approach to the teaching of Arabic as a foreign language.

Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM) is a semantic portal for finding/studying pre-modern manuscripts and their movements, based on linked collections of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, the Bodleian Libraries, and the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes. #siteoftheweek

I've been writing a bit about the items that appear on the cover of my book (out July 2). The multiplicity of meaning and power that genealogy encompassed in early America is all there, in some pieces more explicitly than others. 1/

You know it's time for a LONG break when you start dreaming about your sources.

Today, I woke up with a complete outline of a chapter section in my mind. I wrote down everything that came to me while I was sleeping. And did more research. It's night now and I had not planned to work on my thesis today at all.

50 hours later, I have finished reading the audio book!

Deadline approaching: We are accepting submissions for our conference "Poetry and Knowledge" until June 1, 2025.

We welcome abstracts on all fields and forms of knowledge. Papers on core areas of Islamic knowledge—such as Qur'anic studies, Hadith studies, and Islamic law—are especially encouraged.

This chapter could also encourage students to reflect on actual "deep reading" and on having ChatGPT or a similar program "read" and summarize a paper for you.

I loved teaching a class based on El Rouayheb's chapter on Deep Reading. My students seemed to enjoy it, too, and we had a really productive discussion about the reading strategies of 17th-century Ottoman scholars.
