It lives! 'The Ecology of Form" @CriticalInquiry draws together environmental humanities & formalism debates, asking what Darwin & Glissant suggest about form-in-action, & testing those insights in Helen Oyeyemi's /White is for Witching/ & Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach."🖤🖤🖤

Just sent the proofs back for an article I've been working on for at least *four years.* Grateful for the help of dozens of readers over that time. More soon!

I'm really grateful for my training. All of my education was publicly-funded. And even though I work at a private school now, my salary is paid by student tuition & federal funding. It should be easier to trace how the magic comes from the people.

Some of you may have seen an excellent book by @MazzucatoM , titled "The Value of Everything." It describes how the crazy valuations private of tech companies are based on technologies cobbled from publicly-funded (academic + military) research. hachettebookgroup.com/titles/mariana…

As a professor, I'm constantly worried now about how my students will use AI in their writing. But (as many have pointed out) AI also uses other people's writing in ways that are obscure/border on plagiarism. The other day ... (1/)

4. "Students must use GenAI tools ethically." Well, fair enough. Except...what if...hear me out here...what if using AI in education itself presents a host of ethical questions that are ignored throughout this guidance document?

UPDATE: yesterday @routledgebooks @tandfonline told all staff that it's extra important to meet 2024 targets as they have promised the LLM companies a quota of books for them to digest to train their AIs. So if your editor is pushing you to meet that deadline, this is why!

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Is there anything I can say to get you to chip in $3? What if I told you Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in 2018? Or that CNN says he's the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country? How about this: We're officially TIED in the polls. Would you give just $3 to help me pull ahead?

I found out this morning that Fredric Jameson gave a year-long lecture series at U of T Comp Lit in 1977-78. The lectures were audio-recorded, and my colleague Bao digitized them and put them up on YouTube several years ago. Here you go: youtube.com/watch?v=HJBHWL…

Harris/Walz Kids Fundraiser, version 2.0!!! Four years ago, Grey started a poster fundraiser, and her hand-drawn posters, which ended up all over the US, raised $600 for the Biden-Harris campaign. This year, she and a group of friends created a web store instead ...

Among the many things I'm grateful for: I've been trying to think both with and against him since I hit grad school. Also, all of his incredible work on the urgency of utopia & speculative fiction. And his lifelong struggle to explain the critical power of culture & its reading.
