“We need specialists who are experts in their narrow discipline, but we also need generalists who can put it all together. Generalists don’t get hired or promoted because they don’t publish enough in the good journals. We have to change that” —Don Norman bit.ly/DonNormanDM

The people you trust lied to you about what January 6th would be. The real work for election integrity is hard, and it can be done. Read my piece here in WSJ. wsj.com/articles/republicans…

Maybe I’m getting a misimpression but it seems like tenure track/tenured faculty don’t understand the gravity of this situation and think their jobs are are safe. (Precarious academics get it, obvi.) Which sucks because it makes it real hard to organize in anticipation of cuts.
