Had the same thing this morning. Might be a system wide glitch? But i fixed it by leaving the conversation.

And then there’s this piece of solid writing advice.

Thanks. @danielvaca.bsky.social pointed out elsewhere that the use of a definite article might help guide this. “Western Avenue church” vs “the Western Avenue church.” Seems to bring some clarity.

Put another way, I read the piece NOT as a "historigraphical or sociological debate" but as a confessional one. And, again, some may want that. But the downside can be significant as well.

Hilarious. I still have to take a beat to make sure I don't call W. E. B. DuBois "Web DuBois" aloud.

I guess the shorthand is I'm not interested in telling evangelicals who they are. I'm more interested in understanding who evangelicals think they are. If we do the former we become complicit in the project itself. Some may want that. I think it's problematic.

Context, I think, would make "Western Avenue church" clear, but I always wonder there is some writing law that I failed to learn in school.

This is early 20th c., so the Methodist themselves aren't consistent on this yet! I've seen "M.E." more than MEC. Am trying to approximate their stylings. When I see "Western Avenue Church," I don't like it. But as Laura pointed out "Western Avenue church" looks like a random church.

Thanks! Makes sense. But I also feel like there's some obscure writing law or mechanic I need to follow here too.

your questions are making me realize is that one thing absent form the article/course is whether students would critically engage with the LLM itself--question its content, assumptions, etc. That feels important and newer.

At end the rapid production of personalizable resources, which would allow for higher order activities?

I guess I'm presuming some how this would work--or how I would use it if it was me--but it seems like this model would potentially allow class time to be focused on the act of and discussion of reading???

If the LLM is based solely on approved course content that the instructor would have used to put together lectures, and then it both packages that material as both a textbook and an AI chatbot, then it seems to create space for the instructor to focus on reading during class time.

Because Lord does this man have staying power. Even with the Never Trumpers and Exvangelical quit lit of 2016.

Fun thing this year is that my neighbor built this contraption to find the park’s most level part. A hose full of water connects them. Apparently it’s an old Portuguese architectural practice.

One thing particularly got me. The very first thing Ted did upon taking the podium was recognize two other colleagues who retired around 2020 but did not get a party due to COVID. Really sums up who he Ted is as a colleague & scholar. /2

The center also is also convening a cohort of publicly-engaged scholars to participate in a conversation about best practices, benefits, and lessons learned in the creation of public scholarship. Will be of interest to both #AcRel & #PublicHistory
