Is anybody who is involved in #DoctoralEducation able to point me towards a similar report or study on the UK knowledge society, maybe by #UKCGE or similar?

This one is on the European context👇🏼

📢Registration for our event in Milton Keynes (UK) 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.
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✊🏼
In case of interest, the #OpenUniversity #GraduateSchool has just published its guidance on the use of #GenAI in #DoctoralWriting:
Informed comments are welcome as this document has been conceived as a 'living document' responsive to change in an evolving tech landscape.
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.
Email me for info.
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?

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'.
Must read asap.

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).

Please share your good practices for responding to reviewers' & academic feedback more generally (eg #supervisor feedback)?

Some suggestions:

- https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/blog/peer-review/how-to-respond-to-reviewer-comments/
I'm thinking of planning an event on the future of #DoctoralWriting, marginally triggered by the irruption of #GAI, but mostly rooted in much earlier & established concerns around what #AcWri is & should be.
What might you want from such an event?

Does anyone know why there's no mention of #GAI and v. little on changes in #DoctoralWriting practices (cf https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/change-and-stability-in-thesis-and-dissertation-writing-9781350146587/) in #UKRI New Deal for PG Research?
Are these issues considered elsewhere?
Looking forward to reading this as soon as the price comes down:

Hello @annamills, thank you for your work on #AI literacies, pedagogies, and awareness raising. It's helping me, at least, raise awareness within my own academic writing contexts.
Are you aware of any similar and/or specific work - including your own that I'm not aware of - relating to the use of #LLMs and other #ArtificialIntelligence writing technologies in #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralResearch #ResearchWriting?

My book #WhatMakesWritingAcademic will be available in paperback from September 2023.
It's relevant to academic writers & their teachers because it engages critically with how knowledge is shaped by the forms of writing we choose.
You can pre-order from
https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/what-makes-writing-academic-9781350243965/ as well as from your preferred bookshop.
If you've read it, please let me know what you think of it and how you've used it.
Thnx

Thinking ahead to the 2023-24 academic year (plus related tedious budget requests) and to populating my calendar with conferences & events relating to:
#AcademicLiteracies #DoctoralWriting #DoctoralPedagogies #AcademicPublishing #PostGraduateEducation #AcWri #ArtificialIntelligence {JM}
What's on your agendas, pls, so I can get a sense of what to look into?
Thank you, J
I'm currently reading a #PhD thesis that refers to cited authors by first name only (Paul, Carolyn, Roy, etc.).
Is this a 'thing'? A citing convention?
The thesis is about #NarrativeEnquiry and #CriticalRealism
I rather like it. I feel like I am being told a story (all the evidence base is there, the argument holds, and cited authors are reified to the status of embodied people).
The time spent trying to get up to speed with the proliferation of AI-enhanced technology and those promising to 'super-charge' and 'power-up' writing productivity is better spent simply getting on with your writing - unless you've also got the time & expertise to fact-check and edit the machine-paper.
Own your research and the ways to represent it. The form of your writing is part of the 'original contribution', so own it 💪🏽✍️
