Why integrating Health Humanities into the medical curriculum is vital
https://www.thehindu.com/education/why-integrating-health-humanities-into-the-medical-curriculum-is-vital/article70329471.ece

"Health Humanities must move beyond English departments and become an integral part of medical colleges, where Humanities scholars can work in tandem with medical practitioners."

At JHU I took a #MedHum course that was the same exact course and structure the medical students were taking. It was the most labor intensive #humanities course I ever took. I benefited from it. They work hard.

Neglected local soundscapes in music therapy: cultural equity in research, policy, and practice in integrative oncology

"The innate rhythmic, lyrical, or emotive properties of musical traditions, ranging from Indian Ragas to African polyrhythms and Sufi Qawwali, remain underexplored due to a lack of academic infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and funding."

Les collègues Charles Mercier (Université de Bordeaux) et Philippe Portier (EPHE) reviennent sur les lectures parfois rapides d'enquêtes d'opinion portant sur les affiliations et sentiments religieux des jeunes musulmans en France.
Et rappellent, au passage, que l'expérience vécue n'est pas si éloignée que celles de leurs compatriotes d'autres religions.

« C’est dans cette perspective d’individuation que nous semblent se situer les jeunes musulmans français, qui ne sont pas si éloignés qu’on le dit de leurs compatriotes. A l’approche de la célébration des 120 ans de la loi de séparation des Eglises et de l’Etat, on ne peut que souhaiter que la question complexe des rapports entre religion, politique et société fasse l’objet d’approches fondées sur l’étude rationnelle des faits ».

Casual reminder that Universities MUST have a zero-tolerance FOSS policy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46083357

They should also:

- host Tor exit nodes;
- mirror Anna's Archive, Library Genesis, and Sci-Hub;
- not allow police on campus.

Bộ Giáo dục Trung Quốc đang thí điểm mô hình đào tạo tiến sĩ mới tại một trường đại học hàng đầu: nghiên cứu sinh có thể tốt nghiệp bằng sản phẩm hoặc thiết kế kỹ thuật thay vì luận án truyền thống. Đây là bước đổi mới nhằm gắn kết đào tạo với thực tiễn, tuy nhiên cũng gây nhiều tranh luận về chất lượng.

i guess that's what i'm doing with myself now! I'm #writing one of those #academia #fantasy #novel thingies. With #lesbian and #transgender characters and an #apocalypse vibe that feels just about right in the current year.

also it's wish fulfillment which means happy endings and positivity and girls falling in love and solving their problems through hugging, kissing, and violence.

and the cost to you? nothing! though your sharing and commenting goes a long way to making this feel worthwhile.

I am done with reviewing postdoc applications. DONE. DOOOOONNNNNNEEEE.

LLMs definitely are involved: the writing quality is much higher than in previous years. I hope that the applicants didn't use LLMs to develop their studies, but the time frame provided by the funding agency (looking at you, SSHRC!) does not allow careful thought about that.

Most disturbing though: in previous years, 1/5 or 1/6 applications were in French. This year: 0/36.

Update. Well-put: "Supporters of [the firings of these professors] say they are justified because professors are straying from their syllabi. But that’s a dodge. If an instructor in Calculus 101 teaches 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘭𝘦𝘵, the reaction would not be to ban Shakespeare instruction throughout the university."

"If a university is a place where students and educators engage in free inquiry in the service of understanding, #Texas now has fewer places that meet that definition."
