This is brilliant: www.storiescourse.org/new free online ecolinguistics course "The Search for New Stories to Live By" (Arran Stibbe) discourses that can help build a fairer and more ecological world

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead: #academicsky

Having completely overhauled my "What is Nature?" course in light of these principles - centring authentic, situated engagement with texts in pedagogy and assessment - seeing the sparks fly in class and in students' writing has made it all worthwhile.

"The real crisis is that the system itself has already reduced learning to a game where authentic engagement gets crowded out by the logic of accumulation and exchange." Insightful article on the structural incentivisation of AI outsourcing in #HigherEd trevoraleo.substack.com/p/against-sc...

Currently overhauling my introductory "What is Nature?" course and delighted to discover a new book has been published on exactly this topic since I last taught it. Thanks @asleuki.bsky.social for a perfectly-timed announcement of your book prize shortlist! yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300...

"Our current crises stem from narrow, technocratic thinking: a mindset that externalised environmental harm, reduced nature to property, and prioritised short-term gain over long-term survival. The humanities help us challenge that logic." #EnvHum #HigherEducation #ESD wonkhe.com/blogs/our-fu...
