It lives! 'The Ecology of Form" @CriticalInquiry draws together environmental humanities & formalism debates, asking what Darwin & Glissant suggest about form-in-action, & testing those insights in Helen Oyeyemi's /White is for Witching/ & Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach."🖤🖤🖤

Just sent the proofs back for an article I've been working on for at least *four years.* Grateful for the help of dozens of readers over that time. More soon!

As a professor, I'm constantly worried now about how my students will use AI in their writing. But (as many have pointed out) AI also uses other people's writing in ways that are obscure/border on plagiarism. The other day ... (1/)

4. "Students must use GenAI tools ethically." Well, fair enough. Except...what if...hear me out here...what if using AI in education itself presents a host of ethical questions that are ignored throughout this guidance document?

Some of you may have seen an excellent book by @MazzucatoM , titled "The Value of Everything." It describes how the crazy valuations private of tech companies are based on technologies cobbled from publicly-funded (academic + military) research. hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

I'm really grateful for my training. All of my education was publicly-funded. And even though I work at a private school now, my salary is paid by student tuition & federal funding. It should be easier to trace how the magic comes from the people.

Lines from this still bubbling into my head all the time, particularly when life gets weird.

It was great being 21 when this album came out and it’s great listening to it now. Undefeated.

UPDATE: yesterday @routledgebooks @tandfonline told all staff that it's extra important to meet 2024 targets as they have promised the LLM companies a quota of books for them to digest to train their AIs. So if your editor is pushing you to meet that deadline, this is why!

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Is there anything I can say to get you to chip in $3? What if I told you Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in 2018? Or that CNN says he's the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country? How about this: We're officially TIED in the polls. Would you give just $3 to help me pull ahead?

I found out this morning that Fredric Jameson gave a year-long lecture series at U of T Comp Lit in 1977-78. The lectures were audio-recorded, and my colleague Bao digitized them and put them up on YouTube several years ago. Here you go: youtube.com/watch?v=HJBHWLLr…

Don't know what to say about Jameson's death. It's a bit like Jupiter just went missing. Don't think we'll ever see the like again.

I think this is the Fred Jameson picture that everyone should be using.

Among the many things I'm grateful for: I've been trying to think both with and against him since I hit grad school. Also, all of his incredible work on the urgency of utopia & speculative fiction. And his lifelong struggle to explain the critical power of culture & its reading.
