No one could’ve seen this coming

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.

I have been thinking about change management again, some of my own experience with it, and the role lifewide learning and creative pedagogies played.

What is excellence? Since we are in the midst of our annual reviews, I have been pondering this topic extensively. Particularly, still remembering the early 2000s where centres of excellence sprouted like mushrooms in autumn. So I figured I ask AI for a useful definition: Excellence is a dynamic…
