The disappearance of the unclear question
AI speeds up research, but without friction, do students lose the deep thinking that turns bad questions into meaningful learning?

For years, I taught research writing and helped students refine research questions-- a messy, uncomfortable, often slow process. How is AI reshaping the questions we ask?

Hey BlueSky! Sharing my recent think piece: "Beyond the Crisis Approach: the urgent need for long-term thinking"
This idea is more important to me than ever in these turbulent times - no matter what the crisis of the moment, keep a longterm horizon in sight. Meaningful action can be taken every day.

Beyond the Crisis Approach: the urgent need for long-term thinking
