It is time for a deeply trauma-aware pedagogy, one that honors the crushing burdens that young people are facing today. One that provides hope in time of despair, that can contribute to healing, community building, empathy, and spiritual renewal at the deepest level. medium.com/age-of-aware...

Why A.I. Can’t Replace Humanities Professors Just Yet
New AI tools called “Deep Research” from Gemini, OpenAI, and Perplexity claim to be able to do our job for us. Is the professor’s moment of obsolescence already nigh? Should we have no place in the institution starting today?
