We just received a doom and gloom email from our department. It’s absolutely devastating. So here’s to a lovely weekend before the department meeting on Monday.

Tomorrow in my methods class we’ll discuss an article about the teddy boys and the American influence on British working class youth culture. I’ll see if I can sneak this into our conversation: youtu.be/RbORetSEesA?...

“We can speculate as to why” is pretty rich.

“Mr. Rufo said that while he and his colleagues had examined mostly published work by white academics, plagiarism had shown up almost always among papers written by Black scholars, particularly Black women who work in diversity and inclusion.

“We can speculate as to why,” Mr. Rufo said, but he suggested that academic studies that lead to careers in diversity, equity and inclusion were not as rigorous as some others.

Some academics, however, have characterized the campaign as racist.”

Just bonkers. They’ll use AI based on historical sources to create “faux individuals” to study. “In principle, responses from these faux individuals can reflect the psychology of past societies, allowing for a more robust and interdisciplinary science of human nature.” www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
