A lot of people disappointed until next year 😢

A picture of christmas presents under a tree. One is clearly a bike wrapped in the red, and the caption reads 'I hope it's the oxford handbook of social epistemology'

Not nearly enough booksellers’ catalogues include the description “whack-a-doodle.” Apparently Mr. Crook thought the biggest challenge for people learning mathematics is having to remember all ten digits.

‘It turns out that computers can learn to code far quicker than humans can. They can easily be taught how to ace exams in maths and science. But even the most sophisticated generative AI struggles with English literature papers. There’s a clue here.’ www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Reports of English literature’s death have been greatly exaggerated

The rise of AI is making a degree in humanities more valuable than ever

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

optimist: the cup is half full pessimist: the cup is half empty university management: we hear the concerns of our community and are taking bold and immediate action to appoint a new pro-vice dean of cup plenitude as part of our long term vision. also we sacked all the cups.

I’ll be at Calgary University to present a talk on Romanticism and the astonishing survival of early-modern practices and theories of translation this Thu and Fri, as part of a workshop on translators from the high Middle Ages to the early 19Ce. If you happen to be close, hit me up!

Call for speakers! I’m organising an online series of talks, “Women, Property and Economics,” which will bring together early career and established academics, and heritage professionals, working on this topic across 18th and 19th century studies.
