Today's @UNEP report on the environmental destruction in Gaza is just brutal. Water, air quality, and exposure to toxics have all catastrophically degraded over the course of the genocide, creating serious longterm challenges for human health + rebulding https://t.co/EJVhNz6kkc

AI in higher ed clearly means "do more with less." Instructors are asked to re-design assessments to be more authentic at the same time their capacity to do so is undermined by growing class sizes, cuts to teaching assistant allocations, shifts to sessional appointments, etc.

For more on why stopping the genocide in Palestine is a climate justice issue, see our @cpluscp statement, Ceasefire Now, Ceasefire Forever https://t.co/cSsQGzO7gx

That would be shifting from one form of climate destruction to another. It's hard to know because the University doesn't disclose the # of shares it holds.

UoGforPalestine notes that the University of Guelph may have "accelerated its investments in arms (e.g. Northrup, Lockheed, Raytheon) to make up for the discrepancies in their divestment from fossil fuels" https://t.co/GNIhkAKN8A

@vgalaz sounds a lot more like "Earth for AI"!

I am putting together a 'Palestinian liberation-political ecology-climate/environmental justice' reader for our students' encampment in Groningen, any ideas (articles/book chapters - not books) on what to include all the way from basics to more recent engaged scholarship?

Open letter to boycott and call for the censure of UCalgary. "Academic institutions must be places that encourage dialogue in the pursuit of understanding and knowledge. There is no justification for police crackdowns on peaceful assemblies on campus.”
