Today in The Edge, @carlsonics.bsky.social lays out why the college major may not be the best organizing principle for students--and what might be better. @hopkinspress.bsky.social @chronicle.com

Just finished “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Scott Laff. Should be required reading of all in higher education as we collectively fight to survive so that our country survives.

It’s not even Chanukah but the first gift arrived, thanks to “Hacking College” co-author Scott Carlson. I’m so psyched to dig into this important book on making college more meaningful and valuable for students. And hey @JHUpress: nice cover too.

This was a really interesting interview

I sort of forgot that @carlsonics.bsky.social and I were talking for an interview, so I got a little free in this one, but I stand behind everything, and it was fun to kick around the implications of the ideas in More Than Words. www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t...

These are good points John. Melds well w the thoughts in the forthcoming “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Laff. @hopkinspress.bsky.social

I hate social media, but if you're a writer, artist, creator, etc., it's all about this. So I'm here for a while.
