I wrote on how the philosophy of C.S. Lewis and T.M. Greene from the 1940s can help human educators navigate the age of AI, and how these ideas form our students in reflective learning in Visions of the Good Life, our new freshman course @azusapacific

Should university units issue statements on political matters? The issue has a history. I engage with recent essays by @McCormickProf and David Bell as I review Ellen Schrecker's book on universities and politics in the 1960s.

@EddieRCole and I are proud that our co-edited issue of the Peabody Journal of Education is now available! It commemorates the 75th anniversary of the "Truman Commission Report" - a landmark federal report on higher ed policy, both inspiring and flawed.

"AP U.S. history... is replacing the teaching of college-level American history across the country, but not with a course that replicates what a student would actually encounter in college." @Lollardfish on @anndaraabrams' amazing and essential new book.

[Johann Neem @JohannNeem]

We need to celebrate (and defend) the joys of teaching #humanities in challenging times, I argue in this @chronicle review essay. https://t.co/I82vkBHQq8

In "The Degradation of the Academic Dogma" published by Robert Nisbet in 1971, he predicted the managerialism and 'academic capitalism' that have brought universities low. But Nisbet also saw a way out -- by @SchrumEthan . https://t.co/iaV9cFmiyc
