I think he’s giving me the side eye for photographing, but I’m grateful to Tarleton State for bringing in James Lang for some small teacher development here at the end of the semester. 💜🤍🤓

I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend this event—the scale of the system and the commitment to student learning from colleagues across the state is inspiring. And we’re gleaning ideas to bring back to our Tarleton State students too.
Dr. James Hurley@TarletonPrez

We had an amazing group of faculty travel to College Station for The Chancellor’s Faculty Innovation and Impact Symposium, a systemwide celebration recognizing educators who are redefining student success across the @TAMUSystem. #TarletonState #BleedPurple

@michaeloburns @HiPhiNation Right? It would be good to connect y’all with current philosophy teachers—I am sure you’d have a lot to teach us. And I’m a big fan of assigning video/podcasts when applicable, as are others, so it could help spread your work, too.

@kmfaho @HiPhiNation I know multiple “failed” philosophers like myself who pivoted to video or podcasts and have massive audiences and imagine of those engaging voices were able to stay in academia and inspire students??

@kmfaho @HiPhiNation @TheAAPT when i left academia is largely because i just really like teaching students and that desire and enthusiasm seemed to not be viewed an asset by any department hiring people to . . . teach philosophy.

@michaeloburns The Leiter top 30 review each other, and therefore review faculty within their department, almost exclusively on the basis of how good they think their papers and the venues their papers are published in are. Prestige economy. Change the metrics, change the incentives.

Hm. So the lesson is that those departments don’t hire junior people from the pool of contingent faculty, and that those junior TT faculty lack the material experiences of 90% of their working peers?
cordelia@cozyunoist

of junior TT faculty at the top 30 leiter rank philosophy departments: 2% have ever held a vap 0.5% have ever held an adjunct appointment 5% have ever held a renewable teaching position 11% have ever previously held a role at an R2 2% have ever previously held a role at a 4-year

Forever grateful for my alma mater that gave me the knowledge and tools to get me to where I am today. This in addition to the lifelong friendships and mentors I earned along the way. Happy Valpo Day! 💛🤎 #ProudToBeValpo @ValpoU @ValpoWeather

I am encouraged by the new Valparaiso president’s talk with alumni tonight. @TarletonPrez often says that ‘the world needs more Tarleton Texans,’ and @BrianKonkol shares a similar and clearly heartfelt conviction about Valpo grads. 🤎💛

Another incredible season sweep for our @TarletonBase Texans. I think we are getting the hang of D1/P4/FBS athletics… Not even considered “upsets” anymore - just an expected outcome… All everything university! #BleedPurple #RollTexans 💜⚾️

@freganmitts I forget where I saw it, but literally today someone said they’re doing a ‘philosophy and’ style collection on the show.

I finally watched Pluribus. Then I entered a fugue state and wrote 3k words about it. Here's why I think it's not about AI, exactly (link below, you know the drill.)

I think GenAI is highlighting a difference that's always been in academia but never addressed: some people go into it because they want to do science and see mentorship as the price of admission, while others see mentorship as a core part of the calling. 1/N
Jay Van Bavel, PhD@jayvanbavel

I've been seeing this more and more, labs are shrinking due to massive funding cuts and scientists are leaning more and more on AI. There used to be a lot of debate about whether or not academia was a pyramid scheme, but I think that will quickly be obsolete if labs start using AI rather than training new students. "The issue is not whether my students are valuable. In the long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns. I feel somewhat embarrassed to admit how tempting this is. In our culture, preferring an algorithm to a trainee feels like a betrayal of the academic mission. Yet I see these calculations shaping the labs around me. Close colleagues are quietly refraining from taking on as many students as they used to. When they do take students, they are noticeably pickier." science.org/content/articl…

Almost a quarter of the presenters were Honors students, and I’m so proud of them. I am proud of the other students too, but my formation as an undergraduate researcher at @valpocc biases me just a bit. 🤓

A record-breaking day at the RIED Research Symposium 👏 With 105 student research projects and a milestone number of poster and Three Minute Thesis presentations, our Texans are leading the way in innovation and impact. Read more: bit.ly/4r3tOeH
