Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: ‘Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..

[Curt Rice @curtrice]

“Våre studenter betaler i utlandet derfor må utlendingene betale her” er et klassisk eksempel på “follower-ship” og ikke “leadership”. Aren’t we better than that, @jonasgahrstore? Are you planning to lead or to follow? Utdanning bør være gratis for alle og vi bør vise veien dit.

https://t.co/Anh3DypY9w To Research by Two Hands. Strange thoughts: reading this helped me to believe in academia again – only to keep me being productive? I’d like to think it’s more than that… *thinks about raising fist but not doing it, alone, in front of screen*

@curtrice Today she stated that one should have a lot of knowledge about Norwegian society to participate as an academic in Norway. I don’t see why native academics should be more aware of this "taus [sic] kunnskap" than migrants. https://t.co/sd8Sv09PXl

@Auxburg @CarstenPaul1982 @elemob_de Ich sehe das eher so, dass die Beantwortung der zweiten Aufgabe zeigt, dass das Kind die Aufgabenstellung im gesamten richtig verstanden hat. Das spricht dann wiederum dafür, die Beantwortung der ersten Aufgabe als richtige Anwendung des Kommutativgesetzes zu sehen.

https://t.co/vKK26YyeaR A friend and a colleague and two artists have introduced a new project called #utopianworlds where they collect you/our/everyone’s imaginations of how a utopian world could look like. Take a look! Even better: get your class to imagine utopia!

https://t.co/L83lApZNT5 now it’s out! Thanks @vsjovoll @ggrothen for taking me along on the ride for this article. If I get out something like this every couple of years, then I am a content academic. #failure kudos to @ThomDavies @TDisney85 @Harrowelly

[Lars Frers @lars_frers]

well, here is to a really nice study on marginalia (comments written in the margins of surveys), which I really do hope will increase attention to these in the analysis of survey data!

Nytt nr av bladet Forskningsetikk! Les om at etikk blir viktigere for finansiering, institusjoner som skylder på «råtne epler» og jungelaper som ble forsøksdyr i Norge. Abo er gratis. Sjekk https://t.co/O4FdhdhRtT!

- Hvorfor er klimaforskning så kontroversielt? - Fordi den griper inn i livene våre. Mennesker har reaksjonsmønstre som gjør at når vi får beskjed om at vi må legge om livene våre, opplever vi at vi har gjort noe feil. Da stritter vi imot, sier @bjornhs #filmkveld @cinemateket.

Here is a sketch that tries to place different academic turns in a very rough and decidedly sketchy timeline. What do you think about this? Is your favorite turn missing? Should I add lines for postcolonial, postmodern, posthuman, …? Did I weigh activities in a bad way?

[Dr. Jessica Taylor @DrJessTaylor]

Working class academics:

Be proud of your roots, be proud of your accent, your dialect, your swears and be proud of the fact that you mispronounce words you have only ever read in books cos you never heard anyone say them. You’re on your way to something brilliant. We need you!
