If you hear about a job where it helps to have over 200 publications in academic and popular #archaeology, plus 20 years' experience as a journal editor, plus a solid record as a popular teacher, then please give me a nudge!

I came across this awesome website with (mostly) free to use silhouette images of different organisms - great for scientific publications and presentations! I really appreciate people making/uploading these images for others to use - will probably be using these on graphs in the future. The bee species available are a bit lacking, though.

I have to pick a topic to make a 10 minute video presentation on, and then write an essay about for my "Contemporary and Emerging Issues in Crime and Justice" subject.
I can choose anything that is a "contemporary or emerging issue" that I want to research, however it can't be anything that our modules already cover..
Our modules are:
- Hate Crime
- Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
- Wildlife, Animal, and Forestry Crime
- Trafficking in Cultural Property
- Identity Crime
- Technology, Digitals, and Crime Prevention
- Institutional Abuse
- Trauma, Personality Functioning, and Offending Behaviour
- Aging Offenders
- Work with Offending Behaviour
- The Professions in Criminal Justice and Wellbeing
I want to write about the NSW anti-Semitism laws, and how they're actually being used to cow criticism of Israel's genocidal actions against Palestine, but I feel like the marker is going to think that comes too close to the "hate crime" module.
I was thinking of writing about either the under-16 social media ban or about Ring door camera surveillance stuff (but both could be covered by the tech/digitals module).
The only other thing I can think of is the whole ligature points in prisons issue.
Suggestions welcome!

I just read a clearly AI-fueled or AI-written book in my academic niche, and while I stumble to finish it, I predict that future historiography will have literature categories and markers like published post 2024 or published ante 2024. Our days will be seen as the barrier between these worlds.
I am not the first to predict this, of course, but we have to reflect on this more often and more loudly, and teach AI awareness as part of a studium generale. #AI #academia #academicchatter

Hive mind:
I would like to conduct my class discussions this semester on non-surveillant, non-AI-saturated platform, instead of Canvas, which is the default at my university.
What should I use? Accessibility and ease of use are big must-haves.
The UK gov look like complete digitally illiterate idiots. The disaster of huge VPN uptake as a consequence of ill thought out simplistic age verification policy in the UK is stupid beyond credibility. We ARE led by donkeys. I said a while back that AI policy (in HE, and at national level) is being made by ppl who don't even know what a VPN is to indicate level of naïve ignorance. Now we know just how true that is.

Open Letter collecting signatures: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of #AI Technologies in #Academia (25 June 2025).
"With this letter we take a principled stand against the proliferation of so-called 'AI' technologies in universities. As an educational institution, we cannot condone the uncritical use of AI by students, faculty, or leadership. We also call for reconsidering any direct financial relationships between Dutch universities and AI companies."
