I would love to assign the Introduction to @xavbriggs' Democracy as Problem Solving to my @OlinCollege students, but need a version of that complex argument for first year, undergrad engineering students. Can't find a NYT or Atlantic-style summary; @xavbriggs, did you write one?

Caught #AStrangeLoop on Broadway on Saturday. I see why @TheLivingMJ has won so many awards for the writing. I saw it as both a deep, often painful meditation on living with intersectional marginalized identities in contemporary society and also as a cutting cultural satire.

PhD applicants (and friends of applicants) in computing-adjacent fields: this is a thread of tweets about open positions/faculty recruiting/programs. Probably mostly InfoSci/HCI/responsible tech/social computing. Please share, and also give me more to add! 🙏

Thoughtful interview with @nkwarikoo about the value of remembering the public mission of higher education when debating college admission policies. Individual merit causes us to lose sight of what society needs in its educated populace. chronicle.com/article/when-c…

As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

1/ It is with a great deal of excitement that I share the @OlinCollege 2022-2027 Strategic Plan. The plan is grounded in a vision for the future of engineering that is captured in three words: Engineering for Everyone.
