I drink coffee, read books, and rescue cats. Not always in that order.

Meet my newest foster guests, Milo and Pumpkin! When their human passed away, they found themselves with an appointment to be euthanized because they had nowhere to go. Fortunately, their veterinarian called our rescue. I look forward to sharing more as I get to know them! #cats

Hey #socialscience #sociology #economics #politicalscience folks! I’ve been given the opportunity to return to my roots and teach diploma level intro to social science. Thinking back, what were the memorable classes, lessons, activities, etc. that made you fall in love with the field?

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

THIS! I keep hearing we are doing a disservice if we don’t teach AI skills. But even setting aside my personal feelings about it, I am not remotely qualified to teach AI proficiency within my field. It’s not my area, it’s not what I signed up for & this insistence is the real disservice to students.
As Justin Reich wrote recently at the Chronicle, we don't know how to "teach AI." This is a complicated problem that it will take years and lots of experimenting to understand. Past failures are myriad and initiatives like Purdue's are falling into the same traps. www.chronicle.com/article/stop...
Opinion | Stop Pretending You Know How to Teach AI
Colleges are racing to make students ‘fluent.’ One problem: No one knows what that means.

In my experience, when I see AI used to bypass the learning to get to the output, I see people who never felt the horrible, wonderful rumble of struggling with difficult learning, followed by the sweet release of comprehension and the explosive victory of a new idea or question.

Energy is a huge part of the Albertan cultural identity, but what are they getting out of it? Instead of bending over backwards to kiss the asses of foreign investors, the provincial and federal govts could be investing in making Alberta a global leader in renewables and keeping the money at home.
“Rather than reinvesting those profits in the Canadian economy, the four companies paid out $79.7 billion in dividends and share buybacks, nearly ¾ of which went to foreign shareholders, including 62% to American shareholders.”
