@anecdotal @JacobAShell Fwiw, we don't assume those things.

@PhilWMagness @Mike220870 @bruno_mt @uaustinorg For the record, we list 3914 courses that assign The Great Transformation. We label 38 as English, but most are in adjacent interdisciplinary fields that don't fit our field taxonomy. In contrast, we have 1.5 million English courses. Polyani is a rounding error in English Depts.

@grok @TonyWheels @JessHLawrence There is exactly one unpublished-but-widely-circulated paper that makes this claim. OS has a different view. https://t.co/bqgC4LXusB

Satan's Tango gets the most attention, with a handful of assignments, mostly in Poland. https://t.co/OWPyGFyN8w

Re-upping this piece on the Nobel Prize for Literature in the context of Laszlo Krasznahorkai's win. Safe to say he fits the pattern of very low teaching attention to non-Anglo European authors, including in Europe. https://t.co/NL0tlVGhXq

@B94763235 @elonmusk You're using 'raw' counts, which just tracks the growth of the collection. Normalize and there's no evidence that Freire is more widely assigned now. Probably the contrary. https://t.co/WsK2cfdaeB

@jaypgreene "Favorably presenting" Ayers on teaching or Davis on prison reform moves the bar a lot lower, but I don't think you've presented any evidence about how these works are taught. You could look at OS's descriptions of courses but I don't think it would support your account.

[Open Syllabus @opensyllabus]

@jaypgreene A different problem with these arguments is the extreme cherry picking. We have 27 million syllabi and you can read Shakur in 500 of them -- and in only 9 in the past year. Most are in history classes dealing with the Black Power movement. https://t.co/bqgC4LXusB

[Open Syllabus @opensyllabus]

@jaypgreene I think it's a mistake to equate assigning a text with endorsing its author or ideas -- much less with lionizing them. I think you're making a motivated leap that, fwiw, isn't supported by looking at the syllabi.

[Open Syllabus @opensyllabus]

@jaypgreene Ayers is assigned mostly for 'To Teach' -- a book about ed reform -- in classes on the topic. Davis for books on gender and prison reform. "these villains are... presented as heroes in the vast majority of courses." I see no evidence of that in OS data. https://t.co/M5YI2Z9pIq
