Viele haben gestern einmal mehr versucht ein Datum; ein Ereignis für ihre aktuellen und ideologischen Zwecke zu missbrauchen. Diese Versuche erfolgten von allen Seiten aus und teilweise sogar „innerhalb“ gegeneinander.
Vielen Dank all jenen, die darauf verzichtetet haben!

how do you navigate being between/in several academic (cultural/linguistic) spheres? Especially when it comes to applying for positions/fellowships/research stays? Any advice, thoughts, similar questions?

I dag bråkar jag om AI, akademiskt skrivande och hantverksskicklighet. Framför allt gör jag ett försök att koppla samman AI-frågan här och nu med en sedan länge existerande andlig robotisering i universitetsvärlden, en robotisering som föregriper de stora språkmodellernas utbredning.

Debatterna om AI-användningen i universitetsvärlden fortsätter. Andreas Tranvik tycker att vi måste stå upp för det akademiska skrivandet som ett kreativt hantverk.

“East End Jews presents a range of writers... Some might be known to students of British Jewish history, and others obscure even to them... Among the contributors are six women, who seem, if the collection is any indication, to have occupied a more prominent place in the field in its later years.”
