I'd appreciate help circulating this survey, part of our overall work on neurodivergence. This one is on behalf of the graduate deans, to develop better supervision guidelines. You can help by boosting and circulating the link in your various networks 🙏 redcap.unisq.edu.au/surveys/?s=D...

What I worry about learning science as the lens for assessing AI in education is it reinforces the long history of the psy-sciences being mobilised to govern what happens in schools, via all its constructs, tests and metrics. It's the classroom-as-a-clinic model of school.

Great start to the day with @neilselwyn.bsky.social problematizing AI in education and society. Can't wait until the new book hits stores. We need to make education AI a political issue, not getting distracted from how it's entangled with deeper structural issues and challenges to public education.

Uppskattar tydligheten och att det på SvD åtminstone fanns en redaktionell human-in-the-loop (eller at-the-end-of-the-loop). Hur ser framtidsutsikterna ut för översättare?

It's #AcWriMo — this blog post by @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social is a great place to begin: thesiswhisperer.com/2012/10/23/w.... Annotating papers and incorporating notes into Notion is essential to my writing process, so that's where I've started. How was your start this year? #AcademicSky

Interesting postdoc opportunity (in critical data studies) at Södertörn: www.sh.se/english/sode.... Deadline: Nov 25, 2025.

it's not good for kids to read books because it will prepare them for college, or for work, or for seminary, it's good for them in the moment because it helps them grow, in any number of unpredictable directions

People are losing faith in democracy’s ability to deliver social progress. But are democracies better than autocracies at promoting economic growth, alleviating poverty, and creating healthier, more educated, and more peaceful societies? On all counts, the answer is yes. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/a...

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

Inspired by @roberttalisse.bsky.social, I tried to find some of my old concert tickets the other day but haven't found the right box so far. One of my social media apps then reminded me of this, posted on this day 12 years ago. Cornell's voice and lyrics are dearly missed.

Bluesky is for sure the (?) top platform for scientific chatter currently (with LinkedIn). But frankly, more engagement is needed here and transitioning from #academictwitter is part of broader fragmentation. And 🦋 is still incredibly US based, also for research. www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

Friday morning's pop-up message with data-for-training pre-selected. I prefer the typical "Claude and Coffee" welcome message. Opting out. #Claude

Democracies often fail to reverse authoritarian takeovers. "Autocratizing leaders have an inherent advantage over their democratic counterparts: They may simply break the rules to achieve rapid political change." muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/a...

Läsvärt ang. lärarutbildningsutredningen. Bitvis är debatten rejält polariserad just nu.🤦‍♂️ Lärarutbildningarna, lärarutbildningsprofessionen och inte minst läraryrket förtjänar bättre. #skola #lärarutbildning

Enjoyed this conversation between Adam Grant and Ed Helms. Might resonate at times with academia - applications for funding, rejection, peer-review, etc. - learning to deal with "a festival of failtures", "building calluses" and the importance of community: youtu.be/hYYNCYmlbVA?... #AcademicSky

This. When people throw around "evidence-based practices" and "science of ______," they aren't engaging in conversation or nuance. They aren't acknowledging complexity or, consequently, reality. These have become euphemisms for "My way or the highway" in education. And they're being weaponized.

As people in the northern hemisphere are beginning to return to work, I'm bumping a post about our new paper on #postdigital GenAI literacy that came out earlier this summer. Close to 4000 accesses on Springer already! Hope it can contribute to interesting discussions. 🌱 doi.org/10.1007/s424...

This. 👇 Only had positive experiences — some only a few exchanged emails, others grew into research collabs. I hope to send more such emails this coming semester.

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

"Taken together, the combined effect of these factors means that countries are unlikely to improve their democracies after an authoritarian episode—or even to maintain the level of democracy they had before- hand for very long." Sobering but important read in @jodemocracy.bsky.social

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Blir uppgiven över den här typen av narrativ. 🙈 En påminnelse: det går att söka sig till en yrkesbana utan att det handlar om karriär, pengar och status; obehöriga lärare i skolorna återspeglar större strukturproblem; vem ska undervisa våra barn i framtiden? #skolpol www.gp.se/ledare/larar...

Not sure what Giphy can capture this, but finally our institutionally procured #Copilot license actually seems to do a fairly good job... at preparing email replies in Outlook. Yippee-ki-yay.

My journal paper argues for a systems approach to AI and education in a post-digital world. AI is not a single tool but a series of disruptions. Outlines an agenda to reduce systemic blockers, build resilience, design more robust policy. #aieducation www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If you are in research, you know the many challenges in the academic publishing model. If you are *not* in research, this piece on the many challenges in the academic publishing world must leave you rather perplexed www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Läser på nytt Ungdomsbarometerns generationsrapport 2025 (åldersspannet 15-24). 3 av 4 ser ljust på sin egen framtid. Positivt, särskilt eftersom bara 1 av 4 ser ljust på samhällets framtid. Många vill bli rika medan intresset för samhällsfrågor minskar. Här finns ett jobb att göra. #svepol #skola

For anyone with an interest in teacher education in times of democratic backsliding, here's an important reminder from Westheimer. Paper available here: doi.org/10.1177/0161... #teachereducation #democracy

Could edtech and AI in education be imagined otherwise?
