The print copes of Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal arrived today:

https://www.mediastudies.press/defund-culture-a-radical-proposal

The #book is published by mediastudies.press, and is available #openaccess under the CC4r (Collective Conditions for Re-Use commitment), so you don’t need to pay to download and read a copy.

It's also feels particularly timely in light of recent discussions around #class and #representation including the Class Ceiling report that came out the other week:

https://www.riseassociates.co.uk/downloads/ClassCeiling-Digital.pdf

And the #BBC review by Anne Morrison and Chris Banatvala, which highlight how it remains London-centric and skewed towards #middleclass

#Academic life at its finest! In #chalks we trust.

I recently posted a pre-print about reasoning and large-language models....

trying to get that piece on a pre-print server itself was a bit of a journey which illustrates concerns I've had for the last 18 months or so: namely that AI will kill publishing reform.

here a blog post about it:

Our University of Groningen Press colleagues were also at the #DigitalAutonomy Fair today.

At UGP, we work with Open Journal Systems by @PublicKnowledgeProject. We help academic staff take back control of the #academic #publishing infrastructure, for example by supporting them in setting up their own journal.

Lots of laughter, old friends, new faces: our annual symposium brought about 90 people from different career stages, disciplines and roles in the #academic system together. We discussed the differences between #quality assurance and policing #research practices, learned about galaxy and #nanopublications, and caught up with #reproducibility related projects.

To everyone who participated, contributed and joined us: Thank you for making this a lively and energetic event!
