The Graduate Center is thrilled to announce it has received over $1M from Google.org as part of a partnership with fellow higher education institutions across New York State to advance AI literacy www.gc.cuny.edu/news/cuny-gr...

Still plenty of time to put together an application. Three scholars held this role previously. Each of them made a significant impact working with graduate student instructors at CUNY, and then moved on to a tenure-track position at other universities.

JFC the horrors this weekend

The thinking here is that the provost will be able to stand up a universal digital project based curriculum that is aligned with distinct (though not-yet-written) departmental learning goals in a university with 40k undergraduates in a matter of months? Lol

All of the hipster latke recipes circulating on my socials may be evidence of a deeper generational rift within American Jewry than the Mamdani discourse revealed…

This is good and necessary; our institutions must be aware and take notice.

We appreciate this presidential seal of approval (the dad joke is a nice bonus)

The CFP is now open for the second cohort of faculty fellows in the Critical AI Literacy Institute @gctlc.bsky.social. We’re recruiting in 3 tracks. 1. Critical Foundations of AI 2. Ecological Implications of AI 3. T(h)inkering with AI Read the full call here: cuny.is/cali2-cfp

CUNY is hiring a University Librarian. Amazing opportunity.

Not for nothing but the Burns documentary is a veritable smorgasbord for those among us who excel at “whose voice is that?” Check out this cast: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ame...

One of the more disruptive outcomes of genAI flooding the zone is the mass conflation of facility with expertise and wisdom, and the elevation of voices (including many hucksters) who have been quick to seize that opportunity.

I so appreciate this attention to what we’ve been doing with ed tech at CUNY and the notion that the higher ed ecosystem can benefit from it. Too many folks to name have been involved in those projects over the years, and it builds upon work and commitments at CUNY that goes back generations.

Hell yes, @mattseybold.bsky.social.

Thank God. #NJ

Deeply appreciate this work, tho in an environment where shared governance is all but non existent it will require faculty orgs and unions to become informed and then to forcefully assert/demand access to procurement/contracting/review. Will not be easy.

Oh sports. #sports!

Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is a remarkable piece of research and story telling. This episode, on the foundations of Fela’s politics, includes Wole Soyinka… whose visa was just revoked. open.spotify.com/episode/7ney...

@karenhao.bsky.social and John Borthwick's conversation on Empire of AI last week at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social was really fantastic. youtu.be/4uSnJzPTHHw?...

Oof. This one hurts. Singularly talented, deeply representative of my generation, soundtrack to so much joy and exploration in my own life. Rest in Power, D'Angelo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2r5...

"Trump Assembles Entire Military Leadership, Declares War on Major American Cities" should be the banner headline across every news website today

PTA gave the Christmas Adventurers Club waaaaay too much credit

I learned yesterday that most people don’t know that CUNY is migrating to Workday for financial and HR operations, so sharing it here. Full university cutover: 1/1/2027. RF is going live in Workday on its own on 1/1/2026. Good luck to us all.

Shout out to @kmichael.bsky.social and @jojokarlin.bsky.social for making this happen via their @gc-dh.bsky.social course @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

M Gessen’s piece rises above the cacophony and captures the moment. A must read.

I talk at length here about our approach @gctlc.bsky.social to cultivating critical AI literacies across CUNY via cuny.is/criticalai.

Necessary, direct from @jamellebouie.net. Elite bandwagon circling around this guy is grounded in his “debates” on campuses. But that wasn’t engagement. It was performance & dissembling, attempts to dominate not to convince or learn. They point more to the poverty of our politics than its ideals.

Tr?mp attends Yankee game and YES Network plays PC Richard jingle… to drown out the boos?

Surprised the word “moxie” could piss me off so much

The reaction to the murder says a million times more about why we’re where we are than the murder itself. Truth has lost the narrative.

ihatereading.com Congrats everyone.

CUNY friends, we're getting organized! The CUNY Alliance for Defending Higher Education is organizing faculty & staff to stand up to attacks and advocate for a CUNY-wide defense compact Follow us @cadhe.bsky.social and sign up on our website to support and stay informed! cadhe.commons.gc.cuny.edu

💯 What distinguishes this from previous ed tech hype cycles is that social buy-in is broad and deep, and it’s hard to see systematic and informed resistance emerging from anywhere but the academy

Just attended AFT’s AI Symposium. Trying to get handle on how it’s being addressed in bargaining. Unsurprisingly, none of the speakers evidenced awareness of the critical scholarship on AI. Or any scholarship. Weingarten multiple times said “AI can now generate knowledge.” Consent: manufactured.

IT HAS A COVER! Pleased to announce that _The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity For the Rest of Us_ is coming from @sunypress.bsky.social in Feb. With 25 chapters from over 40 contributors, the book tackles everything from anti-DEI laws to consultants and cuts to campus violence (1/2)

AAUP’s “Artificial Intelligence and Academic Professions” report suggests several paths of resistance, opposition, constraint. The time to ask questions and make demands of university procurement and contracting is now. www.aaup.org/reports-publ...
