New AnthroPod!š
In the first of a three-part miniseries, we listen to the stories people tell themselves about themselves: how people come to connect with history, how traditions are carried and transmitted, and how emotional performances help people move forward.

In a few years, I think we will look back and realize that learning is like physical fitness in its simplicity and resistance to technology: in order to improve, you need to consistently do hard things without shortcuts.

Berkeley Lawās new policy is unenforceable and, in any case, unwise. Universities should adapt their teaching methods to the technologies available to students, rather than expecting students to adapt to the universityās methods.

People have all sorts of opinions regarding universities, but when it comes down to it, I and many like myself have now 20 years of experience working at them (me: Canada USA). One truism: the working conditions of the professoriate are the learning conditions of the students.

it makes me sad when people seem to have a huge vocabulary for critiquing writing but very few ways to describe what moves them, what they find effective or exciting or memorable, what they loveāand why

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we canāt do things weāve been doing for 5,000 years.

thereās a reason humanities scholars donāt publish a paper every five minutes that somehow instantly gets 80000 cites like you can in some fields
The impression one gets from the ongoing citation discourse on here is that humanities scholars just work much harder on their publications than others do

Every year there is a new university graduation zeitgeist. This year it's commencement speakers getting booed vehemently when mentioning AI in a positive light.

my wokest pedagogical take [and i have many!] is that the Humanities Course most necessary and implementable for STEM students [esp those going 2 industry] is an ethnographic methods course. learning to watch, discuss, explain, and present how You and Others Do Things
an anthropologist is someone who is trained in the art and science of learning how to do anything
