Political theory & gender and politics at UW. I study deliberative democratic theory, activism, and structural injustice. Covid aware and an advocate of equity. Solidarity, like love, is a verb: mask up.

My favourite misuse of this was overhearing a student say "I literally bombed the midterm today." Hopefully it wasn't English.

People don’t need to “learn to use AI”. They need to learn how to think and make connections themselves and thus will facilitate their efficient use of whatever technology comes along. Crafting the right prompt for AI doesn’t take AI training, it takes liberal arts training.
