I don’t mean to sound arsey but I’ve seen 2 posts about Belfast from Americans saying it’s hard to find information, but they’re looking on American news sites. It’s ALL OVER UK-based news sites. That doesn’t seem like a difficult thing to figure out.
How to party at Pompeii! Charlotte Higgins and I are doing a special recording of Instant Classics at the British Library on evening of 22 June, part of heir Food Season. Come along events.bl.uk/events/how-t...
I am proposing to my fellow archaeologists and museum curators a new, cross-cultural typology: “friend-shaped”.
Can be used concurrently with “little guys” as well.
You lovely people have got me up to 190 responses, so I'm going to keep going to 200! If you're an academic in UK HE who's had pastoral responsibility for students in the last 5 years under any title, please take 10 mins to share your thoughts about that work. Please do share to widen the pool.
Two funny things happened to me this week. I was in A&E to get my knee checked and the doctor asked if I was a professional runner (I think she couldn’t believe a person who wasn’t would run as much as I do) and I became an Altra ambassador as part of their She Runs Free team!
Straw poll for HE educators who deal with enslavement as a side-topic (e.g. in talking about women in ancient art one cannot avoid talking about enslaved women, but the module is about art not enslavement).
Do you find students are more willing to use enslaved/enslaver vocab for men than women?
Friend-shaped little guy
Next year I think I’m going to focus on 50milers.
I feel quite happy in this decision for now.
Obviously LLMs are not people but some of the rhetoric around LLMs and personhood is uncomfortably close to ‘look we’d enslaved humans if we were allowed to!’
Like, I'm seeing lots of 'servant girl'/'mistress' vocab sometimes in the same assignment that 'enslaved/enslaver' is used of male individuals, and even 'enslaved woman' with 'mistress'. Is this because students are less likely to see women as enactors of violence?
