    Read this response to from our employers, and understand very rapidly why we're going on strike. The capitalisation of "Stress and Mental Well-Being" is, I think, the final and most telling of all straws.

    As part of my advanced PhD-level research design course I had students create 'bad charts' using any kind of publicly available data. The worse looking chart, the better. This may be my most favorite assignment I've ever given.

    Maybe I’ll scrap my plans for the first session of our “Intro to ” grad seminar and just do a collective STS analysis of the Iowa Caucus debacle... It’s got it all: techno-politics, risk and failure, technologies of mis/trust, app-ification, actor networks, recruitment...

    Never use Academia-not-edu or ResearchGate. If you want to share your working papers, put them on your website or use an open archive. It's a disgrace that the academia thing even has a .edu domain.
