This thread is wild, and also really good food for thought about the moment we are in. I was just in a workshop redesigning my assignments (because AI), and I realize I mistakenly assume all scholars ENJOY being critical thinking human beings. How can we ask our students to do this if we won’t?

Many years ago at the other place, Raul Pacheco Vega launched #ScholarSunday as a way to give a shout out to other scholars. As a tiny tribute, I am beginning #ScholarSundayRPV to promote scholars every week. Feel free to use this and other methods of supporting our peers.

Hear me out… an annual maximum on the number of papers each academic can publish. Encourage the best work, not the most work. (Prompted by the latest silliness about people not wanting to read their references… you know, do their job. But also by the general enshittification of academic publishing)
