Do you think colleges making lists of Jews on a campus, at DJT's request, is a scary idea?
Please sign this petition, organized by Jewish profs at Penn, standing against Penn handing over lists of Jewish faculty or students!

I’m also very happy to have contributed one chapter on "Cultural Memory Studies" – with a focus on transcultural poetry – and another on "Audiovisual Poetry", the latter which I had the pleasure to co-write with @antjeschmidt.bsky.social – joining the many other insightful pieces in the Handbook!

I dag bråkar jag om AI, akademiskt skrivande och hantverksskicklighet. Framför allt gör jag ett försök att koppla samman AI-frågan här och nu med en sedan länge existerande andlig robotisering i universitetsvärlden, en robotisering som föregriper de stora språkmodellernas utbredning.
