One thing I’ve observed as my department has got larger in the past few years is that students are a lot more atomised, and while they still build strong relationships, it can take longer and be harder than previously. I don’t know if…Read more

Yeah, I agree — I think it’s easy to underestimate how stressful it can be for someone to express their views in an environment they imagine to be hostile, and that it is a site of active work to create spaces where students are able to express objections!

I haven’t had to make adjustments to my work at UAL, though part of the…Read more

The Kühn article (https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/mar/17/copyleft-ethical-source-putin-ukraine/) has a really interesting discussion of this — essentially, his point is that currently the more niche ethical licenses (like the Hippocratic license) are less likely to be…Read more

One idea that stood out to me in a number of the readings was the idea of secularism or secular bias. I wonder how your experience of UAL differs from the considerably more religious environments where you grew up? Though I am now more religious, I was brought up in an atheist context, and the…Read more

That said, sometimes students will just turn up with a piece of tech and be like “I want to make this work differently”, and that can also be a really…Read more

I appreciated your discussion of intersections between disability and other aspects of students’ positionality — and the specificity of some challenges students face because of this — and the observation that accommodations like early checklists are of benefit to everyone.

In my experience, our students initially gravitate toward the free thing with the lowest barrier to entry, but with some extra work can also try out other tools as well. We’ve had this with embroidery software — everyone tends to use InkStitch (which is open-source, and…Read more
