I know this has done the rounds already but I want to put it out there again because it basically speaks my heart and position on genAI. an absolute shame on those of you who use it and push for its use, regardless of context, but especially in education.
Belgian AI scientists resist the use of AI in academia
Several AI scientists have published an open letter calling for a ban on AI use by students.

Heard a bit about this over the weekend. Looks like a really interesting book.
"Our purpose in The Modern British City is not merely to describe urban change but to explain why British cities, in all their extraordinary multifariousness, look and feel the way they do today"
Really excited for this expansive new book coming out in November www.lundhumphries.com/blogs/featur...

Finally got my hands on a copy. I will discuss the book & my work in this area at the Contemporary British History Seminar at the IHR on 19 November. Sadly I’ll have to do it online because I’ve used up my travel quota (have a small baby). But thanks to @helenglew.bsky.social for the invitation

Jonas Gahr Støre will now face an extremely difficult task of trying to satisfy 4 other parties in SV, Rødt, MDG & particularly SP in coalition &/ or budget talks. Yet, the ‘bourgeois’ side does not look any easier to align & for a centre party like SP. The negotiations will take time.

Norwegian FrP projected to have 23.9%. Now second largest party after the Labour Party (27.9%). Høyre (Conservatives) down to 14.5%. Looks like a Labour minority gov’t or a leftist majority coalition. Centre-right & market liberals in trouble

Norway’s radical right party FrP text 430,000 young men today to warn them against voting for parties on the left in the Norwegian general election on election day. I’m pleased to say at almost 44 years of age that they consider me to be one of those young men :)

It’s finally publication day for our ed. volume on Conservatism and Christian Democracy in North-West Europe! I don’t have my own copies yet but when they arrive I plan to post more about the book. I’d be grateful if you would recommend it to your university libraries. We hope to achieve a paperback

British women’s history (WW2) folks, can I pick your brains on sources? I have a student in Norway who would like to do a small project on women’s roles in the war & she’s interested in WAAF, WVS, etc. are there any records or sources available online that would be useful? Places to start? Thanks 🙏

I lament the academic use, but what terrifies me the most is existing in some sort of fake world where nobody really knows anything for real. Personally, I’ll be okay because I’m a technological dinosaur, but I worry about my 1 year old and his education: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
18 months. 12,000 questions. A whole lot of anxiety. What I learned from reading students’ ChatGPT logs
Students increasingly use AI chatbots for anything from academic queries to emotional quandaries. But are they missing out on the chance to make their own mistakes? Three undergrads reveal all …

As a contributor, I'm obviously biased, but this edited volume really should be on your radar if you have any interest in the transnational centre-right in Europe. It really pushes the literature beyond just the EPP/European integration and the limits of the national case study.
Excited to see details of our forthcoming edited volume up on the MUP website. Scheduled for publication in July 2025. And we have a cover: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526176851/
