@hpsvanessa.bsky.socialReposted by @galarexer.bsky.socialCannot tell you how much I hate this & how ashamed & angry I am that @ukri.org have taken this step. We KNOW this sort of gAI is socially biased, we KNOW it favours slopAI output over human-written. Our research landscape is falling apart due to underfunding, & they do this? it's *appalling*

@galarexer.bsky.socialNot even that far into this year's job market season, and I simply cannot understand how, in *this economy*, search committees come up with the excellent idea of asking for materials that are *completely* different from any other university/application form I've ever seen ☹️ xoxo, tired applicant

UT Austin has barred students from studying WGS, even as it holds the archives of extraordinary feminists like Lugones. Harvard has demolished WGS, with essentially no experts left who can teach its vast feminist archives, from suffrage to Angela Davis and June Jordan at the Schlesinger Library 😞
