With the fall 2024 semester starting tomorrow, I’m excited to add “assistant professor” to my title. So thankful for our administrators and faculty at Hartwick who have recognized that writing program and writing center administrators are tenure-track faculty positions.

This essay grew out of a dissertation chapter. Glad to have a part of that project see the light of day.

The first three lines of the new Bruce Springsteen/Elizabeth Warren collab

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Fewer Doritos in your bag.
Fewer Oreos in your box.
Less toilet paper on your roll.

You aren’t imagining it—big corporations really are making you pay the same amount (sometimes more) for less. It’s called “shrinkflation,” and we’ve got to crack down on it.

[James Cochran @James_M_Cochran]

@SorinaHiggins @HartwickCollege So grateful that you’re teaching for us. Our students will learn so much from you.

An absolutely wild sign-off from @NPR this morning re: climate change: “Scientists seem more worried about this than people.”

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

So how DID it become so expensive to go to college in America?

How did a degree go from being a few-thousand dollar commitment you could pay off with a part-time job on days you didn't have class, to something you need to take out tens of thousands of dollars for?

Well...

The University of Pittsburgh has removed Turnitin's AI Writing Detection feature, citing the risk of false positives and the harm they can cause.

The Teaching Center "doesn’t endorse any generative AI detection tools".
