Great to see this piece written with Lewis Eves, Gilsun Jeong, and Nandor Revesz is now out. Our focus groups produced some really interesting findings on overlooked factors driving students' AI use and how this relates to broader societal and institutional trends.

Just before Xmas, Laura C and I had career firsts: 2 PhD students successfully defended their theses on the same day, passing their vivas. Very many congrats to Dr Laura Rose Brown and Dr Charles Gray! And very many thanks to the internals (Louise and Olaf) and externals (Catherine and Kyle)

A recording of my lecture is now available here. In the missing first 5m, Professor Berry tells the potted history of my rise from 2Cs and a D at A Level, to a Desmond from Nottingham Trent, then from Wollongong (MA) to toil at Aberystwyth, to finally graduating with a PhD from Loughborough in 2008.

Are #HTS hijackers or sidekicks in #Syria? We show how the US divided good 'opposition' (sidekicks to the protagonist 'people') from bad (hijacker) 'extremists'. Re-writing will now be needed. On US foreign policy and narrative in Syria: academic.oup.com/isq/article/...
