@bucephalus424 every time i read him my thoughts become bernarndian for a few days, it’s like a song you can’t get out of your head. if this is your first, strong recommendation for old masters and then woodcutters

It still drives me crazy when literature professors use "archive" to describe the four or five books (often all available at Barnes and Noble) they've decided to write about.

Reading Ford’s The Good Soldier for the first time. Remarkable. Can’t quite believe that I hadn’t got to it before.

@StevenKale16 @DavidAstinWalsh I think the point is that NTT faculty are often better at their jobs than TT, and that's symptomatic of a problem with many academic institutions and practices, including tenure.
English
@DavidAstinWalsh NTT has by now been fully institutionalized, with promotions, titles, and contract renewals. NTT faculty are hired to teach more classes for lower pay so universities (and states) can save money. Blame the institutions, not individuals.
English
This is why I firmly believe the tenure system should be abolished, because it punishes hardworking and productive non-tenure-track scholars while rewarding apathy and sloth for a small handful of tenured faculty.

In my four years at my current department, I have finished a book, published 1 journal article, 3 book chapters, and some reviews. I've taught an average of 4.5 classes/semester. 4 is supposed to be the maximum. I routinely score in the top 10% in student feedback.

The M.A. program in Ottoman History in Crete. In English, no tuition fees. Taught by among the finest Ottomanists in Europe.
Did I say in Crete?

@cwjones89 @JuliaEMcCoy That's not a little AI; that's a whole lotta AI.
English
We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds.
We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers.
We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate.
The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best.
That's not education. That's sabotage.
The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying.
Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

I think that sometimes beauty and truth can be in alignment, and it's in those moments that I'm fine with Felski and postcritique.

@adam_tooze @MarastiMattia @maiamindel And here we thought we were inventing new things with avocados in 2005.
English
@MarastiMattia @maiamindel Forget the mid 2010s, you should have seen the power of avocados in 1989!
English
I love that Tooze has decided to become 2019 online like seven years late and it's having predictably disastrous results

Pouring one out for The Reverend Jesse Jackson. A giant and a champion for civil rights and equality.
But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.

@BiellaColeman @samhaselby I agree with most of what you say there. Still, wouldn't it be nice if Harper's piece helped persuade Mellon to fund humanities work that did not advertise itself as having immediate social relevance or "impact"?

This line of critique deeply matters. But in the current climate, it risks amplifying (overblown) hysteria. This is both the wrong moment, the wrong medium, and the wrtong way to try to shift people’s thinking on what is, in fact, an important issue

I’ve spent the last year working on a story about the Mellon Foundation, the mega-wealthy private nonprofit that has a monopoly on humanities funding in America. The article, about how Mellon has held the humanities hostage to its progressive political ideology, is out today. 🧵
English
@samhaselby @BiellaColeman It's Important to do critique, except when it's critique of cynical reason.
English
@BiellaColeman one of the most counter productive things is when people on the left say this is true but we shouldn't say it
English
Who can possibly doubt at this point that the prime victim of the so-called neoliberal university has been the pure scholar

L.A. County has become an epicenter for health care fraud in America. Criminals have corrupted the system so much that fraud is now almost expected. President Trump has made it clear: we will not tolerate the patient harm or taxpayer funded theft any longer. More to come.

They’re calling him the most vindicated man of all time

@Tyler_A_Harper @ashleytrubin The other horn of the dilemma is that, within the field, no one wants to hurt anyone's feelings (excluding philosophers).
English
@ashleytrubin If someone is working across multiple disciplines, it's often nearly impossible to find someone who has sufficient expertise in each of those fields to really judge the merits of the work being produced, so peer review becomes an exercise of "yeah, sure, that sounds about right."
English
I am increasingly realizing that, while I continue to think interdisciplinarity is extremely important, interdisciplinary works and spaces are increasingly the bleeding edge of the shittiest scholarship.
English
@roddreher On the one hand, Vance and the rest of Trump's administration are shamefully brutal. On the other hand, Vance likes vacationing in Europe and talking about the "western tradition"
English
Look, this administration's policy towards Greenland is sound in one sense (the US needs it), but also shamefully brutal. But this "Vance hates us" line from the European governing class is true not for Europe per se, but for the liberal elites.
