I will present some findings from my research in the legal Amazon on certified production: responsible industrial soy and group-certified organic small-holder fruits and veg in Brazil. I am also developing a theoretical framework on how food certification mediates trust in Latam!

How to do we do ethnography in risky contexts? I did not focus on the drug trade in Paraguay, but some stories filtered into my research on the everyday. I propose 'lateral ethnography' as a way to (hopefully) more safely understand some of these dynamics: library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation. shorturl.at/InI5Q
AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions.

Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaning­ful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagia­rism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”

In my first year seminar, I think it's feasible to require the document to be generated entirely in Google Docs. We have a clear emphasis on skills-building and showing your work, so they might not be fans of it, but I don't think anyone would push back and say they were just going to paste it in.

Unfortunately, roads are well-known causes of deforestation in the Amazon (Jean Melien et al., 2021; Barber et al., 2014; Nepstad et al., 2001; Southworth et al., 2011). Deforestation concentrates around corridors, and roads facilitate ranching's entry into formerly difficult to reach areas.
