How can educators assess genuine learning in the age of AI? Alyssa Paredes points to a centuries-old practice, the oral exam, as a compelling model for fostering deeper understanding, critical thinking, and student engagement. Read the full text here: culanth.org/fieldsights/in…
How did Brexit and COVID-19 reveal the temporal regimes in contemporary England, implicitly reinforcing ageist marginalization and unequal power dynamics among different generational groups? Read Cathrine Degnen’s article in our latest issue: journal.culanth.org/index.php/ca/a…

New AnthroPod!🔊 In the first of a three-part miniseries, we listen to the stories people tell themselves about themselves: how people come to connect with history, how traditions are carried and transmitted, and how emotional performances help people move forward.
In a few years, I think we will look back and realize that learning is like physical fitness in its simplicity and resistance to technology: in order to improve, you need to consistently do hard things without shortcuts.
Berkeley Law’s new policy is unenforceable and, in any case, unwise. Universities should adapt their teaching methods to the technologies available to students, rather than expecting students to adapt to the university’s methods.
Probably for the purposes of doing peer-reviewed research and teaching at a university
People are letting AI write their wedding vows, love letters, parents’ obituaries, kids’ birthday cards… Such a powerful loss to self and community when people relinquish the truth of their own words and voices to become epiphenomenal vessels for computers to talk to each other.
People have all sorts of opinions regarding universities, but when it comes down to it, I and many like myself have now 20+ years of experience working at them (me: Canada+USA). One truism: the working conditions of the professoriate are the learning conditions of the students.
it makes me sad when people seem to have a huge vocabulary for critiquing writing but very few ways to describe what moves them, what they find effective or exciting or memorable, what they love—and why
🚨Have you heard? The new issue of Cultural Anthropology is out now! Featuring eleven original papers with ethnographic insights into topics ranging from evasion & repair to belonging across African, Asian & European geographies. Find all the articles ⤵️ Open Access as always!
Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
there’s a reason humanities scholars don’t publish a paper every five minutes that somehow instantly gets 80000 cites like you can in some fields
The impression one gets from the ongoing citation discourse on here is that humanities scholars just work much harder on their publications than others do
"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT" WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
Every year there is a new university graduation zeitgeist. This year it's commencement speakers getting booed vehemently when mentioning AI in a positive light.
I’m not doomscrolling it’s called doing a digital ethnography,
there’s an assumption in academia that you’ll organize your whole life around what will make you attractive to a hiring committee—& that you’ll do so at any cost, & that you’ll tolerate any discomfort, for even the barest chance at a nonexistent job—& it’s gross and unsustainable
I’ve never quite understood how I’ll get “left behind” if I don’t use AI. I’m perfectly capable of writing, researching, and thinking all on my own. What does it do that will leave me behind?
my wokest pedagogical take [and i have many!] is that the Humanities Course most necessary and implementable for STEM students [esp those going 2 industry] is an ethnographic methods course. learning to watch, discuss, explain, and present how You and Others Do Things
an anthropologist is someone who is trained in the art and science of learning how to do anything
I personally don't use citations. If you don't recognise the allusion, that's on you
