PhD applicants (and friends of applicants) in computing-adjacent fields: this is a thread of tweets about open positions/faculty recruiting/programs. Probably mostly InfoSci/HCI/responsible tech/social computing. Please share, and also give me more to add! 🙏
Thoughtful interview with @nkwarikoo about the value of remembering the public mission of higher education when debating college admission policies. Individual merit causes us to lose sight of what society needs in its educated populace. https://t.co/1jSDjGn8Bh
This October, we're holding three virtual events at which potential applicants will connect with Olin staff and faculty to get to know more about our community and opportunities available for joining the #OlinFaculty.

As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.
