“The affordances of AI systems have the effect of eroding expertise, short-circuiting decision-making, + isolating people from each other. These systems are anathema to the kind of evolution, transparency, cooperation, + accountability that give vital institutions their purpose and sustainability.”

I don’t want my class to prepare students for ‘the real world.’ I want my class to help students dream of a better world.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

In a post-peak public engagement world where mainstream papers have dropped outlets like the Monkey Cage, what avenues exist for academics to get their work and insights in front of a wider public audience or directly to policymakers? A thread of examples from my own experience. 1/
