Meet the Grants Office: Marianne | Medarbetarwebben

I like to say that I'm a musicologist (cultural historian of music and books) by training and a research coordinator by profession.
Here's a little interview about how I changed careers, what I do now, and my very best grant writing tip!

There is a weird Protestantism that hangs about contemporary academia. We have festschrifts for retirees but absolutely no customs to manage losing SO MANY from our communities before we reach that point.
There is no churching when contracts are renewed, no Placebos when careers are lost.

Andrea Reyes Elizondo @altibel.bsky.social and I have responded to a blog, recently published on @leidenmadtrics.bsky.social, which argued that using AI responsibly in research means being transparent about it. We object that supposed transparency obscures more fundamental ethical questions.
Why AI transparency is not enough
Recently, a taxonomy to disclose the use of generative AI (genAI) in research outputs was presented as an approach that creates transparency and thereby supports responsible genAI use. In this post we...

Citation cartels, ghost writing and fake peer-review: Fraud is causing a crisis in science — here's what we need to do to stop it
Thousands of scientific papers are retracted every year because of fraudulent activity, with both authors and journals gaming a system to gain academic acclaim through deceit, dishonesty and false representation.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

One easy way to see that those were labor issues was the fact that many of your colleagues with a different employment status didn't have those rights and protections. Instead of seeing that as a problem to be fixed for the good of all, too many saw it as a sad fate they'd avoid because of ✨merit✨
I think one of the biggest mistakes we’ve made in academia over the last few years was treating tenure and academic freedom as a guaranteed right and not a labor relation. Had more understood it as the latter perhaps we would have been better prepared to protect it
“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.”

Today I saw a single magpie on the way to work and panicked slightly. But then I remembered that in Sweden, magpies aren’t associated with luck at all! They’re just … birds. Anyone know how magpies became associated with luck? Is it an anglophone thing or more widely spread?

I've never really used LinkedIn, as it was always a very privacy-averse place, but they'll now also be hoovering up your personal data to train GenAI models (as per their new T&Cs). The fact that this is opt-out rather than opt-in speaks volumes.

Been thinking about the way gAI is being sold to us is as the universal tool, a kind of Swiss Army Knife—especially in higher ed. What might have a use in Compsci doesn’t have a use/is harmful in the humanities and arts, and there is something coercive about how it’s being forced on us regardless.
