Hold this thought: doctoral supervisee said today they don't trust the #LLMs to summarise articles for them.

They've been down the snake oil rabbit hole of 'supercharging' academic reading-writing, and emerged nauseous.

They said reading is intellectually 'satisfying'.

I'm planning an event on 'The Future of the Doctorate' (will update here asap).

In the meantime, what are your views on its future, given all that's happening?

A1. by creating teaching & learning spaces in which we openly talk about (ab)uses of #GAI in #DoctoralWriting. No judging, just sharing our (supervisors/ees; facilitators; #ECRs) reasons to use or not use the gpts (and which ones for what purpose).

Gentle inclusive way-in to this space: thanks!

1) working on the signficance of generative #ArtificialIntelligence for #DoctoralWriting; 2) what would a writing-free/free-writing #academia actually look like (what structures would need dismantling? What/whose epistemic virtues-vices might emerge?)
Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here's mine:
- Whether we can have statehood without inhabitable land.
- The legal-philosophical symbolism in Wagner's Ring.

📢Registration for our event is open until 30 June✅

We warmly welcome in-person attendance on 09 July to ensure discussions are critical & spontaneous♨️
But online places are still available {JM}.

I've just been gratefully reminded that academic writing can be an act of love, justice, and care, as well as "the very essence of what it means to be human" (p. 265).

What I love about #PACEspace is the privilege of discussing research writing in progress. Achieving #flow, dealing with #feedback, finding #voice are what we discuss most.

But trusting an Other with your writing is hard. PACE provides a safe & brave space to do this {JM}.

Another work-related thing I'm involved with is developing a #GraduateSchool Position Statement on #GAI for #DoctoralWriting - I'd be grateful for relevant resources.

Being academically relevant as Ur-fascism rages & colonialism murders means, for me, ensuring my scholarship is activist-urgent.

I have a keynote soon, an event on the Future of #DoctoralWriting, 2 chapters on politics and humanity:

the 'so what' matters more than ever✊🏼

After much bureaucracy, this event is scheduled 9 July 2025.

It will be advertised asap on #BAAL #BALEAP #DoctoralWriting #AcWri #tleap #EATAW #CUP networks.

It will be in person-hybrid at #OpenUniversity in #MiltonKeynes but due to funding constraints, tickets will be limited.

Who is currently actively researching diverse #AcademicWriting #DoctoralWriting, pls, as a non-white/western #AcWri scholar (ie not simply writing differently as a white, but actually inhabiting & theorising non-white paradigms eg #BellHooks)?

#AcWri scholarship seems very white to me (inc. mine)

Huge thanks to all who travelled & made it, wrote & stretched 😉, and gave feedback on our all-day #PACEspace 'Writing Retreat' last week in #ThePark - the sun streamed and we *all* got tons of writing done ✍️✍️✍️🥳
