Not the best timing for a celebration, but I've defended my dissertation on origins of egalitarian education reforms. Deeply grateful to my committee: Angie, Aaron, Peter, and @epopppp.bsky.social. Thanks to other mentors including @mivich.bsky.social for her @asa-ipm.bsky.social mentorship.

This is unfortunately, unsurprising. From my perspective, the best advances in education technology are those that broaden access to traditional learning (e.g., an online course that can best replicate an in-person course). There's just no substitute for traditional old-school learning.
Ed tech is profitable. It is also mostly useless
Independent research identifies few learning gains

We talked about running these numbers at UM soc when it became so obvious that women TAs got more complaints for the same classes. Glad someone tested it formally.
Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name.
"These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

I'm seeing a trend in our students at UBC as well. STEM students, but particularly CS students, looking to the humanities to provide more depth and meaning to their studies. Lean in and stay strong, humanities. Your time is here!
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe
