[Ssnet_list] Happening today | First Monday STSS: Rethinking School in the Age of AI

[Monika Sengul-Jones via Ssnet_list]

Hey everyone,

Reminder that our next First Monday STSS online conversation is happening
today at 12:30 pm, details below.

Kim Swenson (UW Bothell) has selected a 45-minute podcast to spur
conversation about STS approaches to LLMs in education. Allow me to elevate
a reference that Kim highlighted from the conversation, which is this:
historian of science D. Graham Burnett on agency in the classroom and how
literary critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has defined education:

Burnett says: “[...]give them work they want to do. And help them want to
do it. What, again, is education? [Quoting Spivak] 'The non-coercive
rearranging of desire.'”

Let's talk more about desire, education, and agencies in (and out) of the
classroom today at 12:30 pm.

Yours,
Monika
