Oct 14th: I am looking forward to presenting a bit of my postdoc research with the Fire and Political Alterity team at the UCopenhagen, discussing the implications of how smallholder farmers view fires as inevitable at the Just Social-Ecological Transformations in Latin America seminar (JSET).

Sigh. I felt like a fair amount of people found me through Academia.edu, especially from LatAm, but I cancelled and eliminated my account.

Nathan K. Hensley @nathankhensley.bsky.social · Sep 24

Academia.edu has always been a scam to gamify & monetize the psychic damage of twilight-phase academic neoliberalism: this person looked you up, that person mentioned you, your work matters. Intellectual as individual brand-builder. The rights stuff is awful but the basic concept is bad enough

Above the design and below the first word of the title sits the subtitle in a cream serif type. The author's name is directly below the design in a cream serif type.

If you (or someone you know) is applying to PhD programs in anthro, geog, STS with a focus on community-based work, check out the Community Research & Action program in my department at Vanderbilt. I am interested in working with students on coastal and heat-related projects. Email with questions.

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation.

shorturl.at/InI5Q

AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions.

Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaningful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagiarism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”

That's a wrap! First year seminar "Are we what we eat? Cuisine, Culture and Production" at CollegeUC. We looked at food identity, heritage, and colonization, then examined inequalities in the global food system, proposing interdisciplinary solutions to local case studies.

A “first of its kind" tool could help untangle the complex global web of food supply chains and make it more resilient to climate shocks.

What would it take to transform the global food system?

For @philbakernz.bsky.social, redistribution of resources to enable more households to access healthy food is the key.

In my first year seminar, I think it's feasible to require the document to be generated entirely in Google Docs. We have a clear emphasis on skills-building and showing your work, so they might not be fans of it, but I don't think anyone would push back and say they were just going to paste it in.

Desmatamento no Brasil recua, mas Cerrado concentra maior área

Apesar do dado positivo, a perda de vegetação no país ainda é preocupante. Somente cinco estados concentram 65% da área desmatada no país.

Sometimes I wonder if the financial and timeline mess in my two investigations in Chile is my fault, but then I remember that my third investigation via Denmark has never had any issues, and I realize the problem is not me.
