HWJ in the Classroom From histories of the French Revolution, to policing in Early Modern England, to LGBTQ+ histories, these reflections highlight HWJ as a valuable resource across many different classrooms.

How have History Workshop Journal articles been used to teach history over the past 50 years?

"Critical Ignoring," an idea I first wrote about in 2021, featured in yesterday's WSJ as a "key survival skill for 2026." www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

“The more we rely on algorithms, the more we normalize their values: automation, prediction, standardization, and corporate dependency. Eventually these priorities fade from view and come to seem natural—“just the way things are.””

We need a critique of AI in academic publishing. Following my decision not to sign an AI addendum to my contract with Cambridge University Press, I wrote this short essay which is now out in the Dublin Review of Books.

Exciting and fully funded opportunity in Oslo! An interesting project on how history is taught in classrooms in Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan, and South Sudan: something for research-minded #historyteachers of Bluesky?

I can heartily recommend Laura's brilliant new article - innovative, creative and hopeful!

Lund University Library growing increasingly autumnal 🧡🍂🍁

Criticism about AI in schools mostly focuses on how it allows students to get away with something (by using OpenAI to write their essays). But shouldn't we be talking more about its detrimental effects on teaching and learning than on how it impedes our ability to evaluate students?

Concerned that we are losing the necessary ratio. 15% of teachers/faculty should be irretrievably strange eccentrics. Every learning experience should have some element where in later life you can reflect with former classmates about how bizarre at least one (1) class per year was.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
