[Ssnet_list] Starting in 30 minutes | First Monday STSS: Rethinking School in the Age of AI

[Monika Sengul-Jones via Ssnet_list]

Hi everyone,
First Monday STSS is starting in thirty minutes. A word of clarification. I
mistakenly suggested the quote that Kim highlighted from historian Burnett
about Spivak is from the podcast. This is incorrect, it is from a recent
New Yorker article
<https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/will-the-humanities-survive-artificial-intelligence>
that
Kim, Leah Ceccarelli, and I shared between us. Here's the link if you are
interested:

See you in 30 min.
Warmly,
Monika
