I've heard this 1,000 times a day. I believed it until 2 weeks ago. Then I learned that the 2026 National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Jobs Outlook report found that only 10% of job ads ask for AI skills. Tell your friends.
It’s because every single employer who hires interns/co-ops/new grads is demanding it, or at least saying loudly they are prioritizing AI readiness in such roles. That’s the signal they’re responding to.

Open Peer Review Models

"Students like the LLM feedback because it helps them get done faster." Not always a good thing! One of my most effective teaching moves was to withhold evaluation and substitute inquiry by asking students questions in response to their questions. Learning isn't always efficient.

I’m so excited that my book is now out in the world. It pulls together my scholarly training in African American literature with my turn to digital humanities. I’ve also published the complete data dataset of 100 years of AFAM and am lit anthologies that is the backbone of the book.
