Thanks to Emilie Connolly (Yale History), who presented twice in @PIPECollab events yesterday: first on her recent book, Vested Interests, and second on new work on the Shawnee struggle to hold onto their land in Kansas in the 1850s and 1860s. @USCPrice

There were a bunch of great panels at the Third Annual HPE Conference at USC. I'll post a few here. First up -- Jay Dow, Hoyt Bleakley, and @NicholasNapolio. @USCPrice

Lol: “One professor’s AI-assisted output: 200 papers and 14 books this year
An online platform removed 257 papers written or co-written by the University of Chicago’s Nicholas Polson after other academics raised questions.” washingtonpost.com/education…
This paper by @davidautor & co-authors is one of the most important papers to date in the space of what AI does to learning.
It's highly credible. And very much consistent with my own experience with use of agentic AI in research and teaching.
