Powerful session put together by the Program Committee and Local Organizing Committee @ISLS2023 Does AI foster or hinder more inclusive education?

[ISLS 2023 @ISLS2023]

An inspiring keynote by @HenryGiroux at #ISLS2023. Thank you!

@aeolani I have been through an awful lot in the past 2 years. This is a big issue - it would take us hours and couldn't do it online. It is not a straightforward debate, but it will be an ongoing one. Please instead of calling us out on the eve of our event, maybe join the #ISLS2024

@aeolani @AmalIbourk @ISLS2023 we have been working with many session chairs to help them with backup plans for such. We are a bit overwhelmed but trying to stay on top of them all. Session chairs are definitely important to this.

@aeolani @tannervea @learnsolidarity @DrSurajUttam Hi Cynthia, Hopefully you received communications from your program chair about how session chairs can support these people who were unfortunate casualties of the Canadian visa snafu (an immigration strike, at the wrong time)... We do have a model, and have been communicating!

@aeolani I disagree with the use of this hashtag to describe something that you're not even representing accurately. It is offensive to some members of our organizing committee and membership. Many "kind and imaginative people" are highly engaged in this labour of love, and we do care.

[Jim Slotta @JimSlotta]

@aeolani @ISLS2023 hi everyone, as an organizer of ISLS2023 I am hurt by this, and also disagree. Our diverse committee has taken these issues ("what is a conference") seriously, and developed our approach over 2+ years, with ISLS board participation. Sorry you feel this way. #moretothestory

Why are you so stressed?#RuinADateWithAnAcademicInFiveWords

lets break twitter, talking about how gmail is down

[Jim Slotta @JimSlotta]

How do students come to understand classrooms as places that have physical expectations, beyond sitting?
