In her keynote in Hong Kong, @profjoubin.bsky.social argues that blobal Shakespeare operates as a heterotopia, a parallel space that contains and evokes other spaces. youtu.be/aRWPTlFa2R4

In @profjoubin.bsky.social 's keynote in Armenia, she showcased comparative analysis in theory and practice, highlighting the educational benefits of contrasting previously unassociated performances of the same pivotal scenes of Macbeth. youtu.be/jNlct3J9d7o

Shakespeare, gender, and adaptation are transitional genres and practices. Transness is the state of being in a transitional space, time, or genre. In @profjoubin.bsky.social 's new book, she uses trans as method to highlight the power of the unspoken words. youtu.be/NrOjIQdK0o8

@profjoubin.bsky.social gives a snapshot of her new book on Transitional Shakespeare, Gender and Adaptation This book launch was part of the International Shakespeare conference in Hong Kong.

@profjoubin.bsky.social thanks the Sigur Center for Asian Studies for the research grant. She looks forward to examining Beijing opera in Verona, Italy! #Shakespeare #adaptation #Beijingopera #Italy #Taiwan #JuliusCaesar

On the Festive Stage @profjoubin shared a humanistic perspective on trust in the era of AI. AI disrupts trust as a social norm, which is predominantly an interpersonal relationship rather than merely a characteristic of a machine. The Innovation Fest celebrates interdisciplinary research. #genai

AI is a killjoy, but @profjoubin.bsky.social argues that we can restore the joy of discovery. Practicing meta-cognition can turn us into spectators of our own thoughts. Estrangement can be a joyful tool for discovery. #criticalAI #highered #joy #estrangement #metacognition youtu.be/Op2Tkg70R_E

@profjoubin.bsky.social shows how to restore the joy of learning despite estrangement in the era of AI in her distinguished lecture at Case Western Reserve University #genAI #joy #metacognition #highered

Higher ed should be a public good, not part of an AI extractive economy that deepens inequality and erodes democratic life.

Universities have approved multi-million dollar AI contracts despite the lack of educational use case. #criticalai #highered #publicgood #publicinteresttechnology

@profjoubin.bsky.social 's "Transness as radical hospitality" is open access! Her semi-autoethnographic accounts of failures become a counter-archive, showing that invisibility and hyper-visibility have led to academia failing women. www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph-de...

How do Shakespearean fictional worlds and soliloquies help us understand generative AI’s realms of virtuality and performativity? This is the topic of my seminar on AI and Virtuality at @saaupdates.bsky.social youtu.be/Xa7yq69mxtY

"The Epistemologies of Trust” explores 4 different worldviews. As the second author, @profjoubin.bsky.social argues that trust is a human-centered and relational concept. It grew out of the ongoing Oxbridge-style interdisciplinary conversation initiated by Joubin. ow.ly/MgfB50YV9iY

Let us restore joy of learning, but first let us become strangers to ourselves. Education and work have become joylessly transactional. @profjoubin.bsky.social argues that estrangement can be a cognitive and affective intervention. youtu.be/GtlPSHKla94 #criticalAI #digitalhumanities #Shakespeare

Researchers invented a fake medical condition "Bixonimania" and seeded it online. Within weeks, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini were confidently telling users it was real. Copilot called it "intriguing and relatively rare." Gemini said it was caused by blue light exposure.

We should treat Al's output as fiction. LLMs are trained on a large amount of imaginative literature especially science fiction.

In @profjoubin.bsky.social 's upcoming lecture in Cleveland, she advocates for using estrangement as a cognitive and affective intervention to re-center intellectual joy against AI's interference. community.case.edu/hat/rsvp_boo...

@profjoubin.bsky.social will lead a workshop on open access in Cleveland. In the liberal arts, AI is happening to us rather than with us and for us.

Lauren Goodlad, during her keynote, made a great point about the real AI we are contending with: Authoritarian Intelligence. AI as a predictable model of scale. Imaginative literature provides unpredictability. Let us delight in a world that is not scripted by others. #criticalAI #predictability
