While #NormLocalization theory by @AmitavAcharya is widely recognized in the international relations area, in my freshly published article I adapt the theory into a theoretical framework to examine #HigherEducation policy. doi.org/10.32674/jcihe…

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction. I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

We🇰🇿 extend our deepest condolences regarding the passenger plane crash. In this time of sorrow, we stand in solidarity with the brothers and sisters of Azerbaijan🇦🇿 and share in their grief. We wish the survivors a swift recovery.

SPOILER: Reviewer #2 is the villain in this story 😅

Advocate for protections now because the Taliban may soon claim the curriculum is “revised” and allow women and girls to return to school. But what kind of education will they return to? The Taliban’s strategy is calculated—the world must call their bluff and act accordingly.

The distortion of education to serve extremism is the crucial issue. If the Taliban opens schools, what will that look like? We must advocate for protections that ensure a sound curriculum—preparing children for the future while balancing religious teachings responsibly.

Be cautious when advocating for 'the Taliban' to open schools for girls. Current boys’ education has shifted sharply toward madrassas, focusing on religious indoctrination. The question is: does the universal right to education guarantee a holistic, well-rounded curriculum?

Now that I’m a tenured professor everyone labels me as a foe. The Right says I’m a socialist state bureaucrat, warping young minds. And the Left says I’m a hyper-privileged oppressor wielding institutional power over helpless grad students. In reality, I am a humble scholar.

hooray, the "Bayesian Models of Cognition" book is out, for all your Bayesian models of cognition needs :) (I contributed to 3 chapters in the book -- development, intuitive physics, theory of mind -- that can be read on the ol' website)

Received a journal submission to review a few months back. Probably a grad student wrote it, and they didn’t cite me. So I sat on it for 90 days. Then I asked for another 90 days, just to send off a rejection and one word: garbage. Bottom line? Respect your scholarly elders.
