Also genuinely moving to see the students reading through debates around specialisation and interdisciplinarity in the earliest planning for @york.ac.uk uni and campus - knowing they embody and finally bring that vision full-circle as our first Liberal Arts cohort.

Saw a provocative presentation the other week about assessments where gen-AI is *required*, but yeah, it’s been weird discovering which tasks I’ve assigned are inadvertently AI-friendly or AI-proof. I really don’t want a full retreat to exams.

Thanks, yes, I’ve been playing Chopin forever but he also remains elusive in a way I appreciate. We’ll see how Valldemossa affects that!

Oh, I love this! Thank you. I’m researching something I’ll write about Chopin and ‘Nothing in her books could make him well’ will be fixed in my head now.

Thanks! Yes, the dialogue between the text and footnotes is hilarious at times. I’m really looking forward to the spooky cell and everything Sand describes so conflictedly!
