Is Kwantlen student association trying to kill student newspaper?
Seems bad. Many years ago I endowed an award given annually at my university to a journalism student “recognized for active involvement with production of student publications as a writer and/or editor.” I trust these machinations, no matter who is behind … Continue reading
Raw Milk
Let’s not. The marvellous Talia Lavin discusses “the collapse of consensus reality.” I love how Lavin lets loose her scorn. Increased raw milk consumption has already led to a rise in foodborne illness—including stillbirths, miscarriages and deaths, albeit in very … Continue reading
“Storying Universal Design for Learning”
My Kwantlen Polytechnic University colleague Seanna Takacs, PhD, has coauthored “Storying Universal Design for Learning” (with coauathors Lilach Marom, Alex Vanderveen, and the late Arley Cruthers Mcneney). It is a terrific book that “compiles post-secondary student voices on accessible teaching … Continue reading
Preparing ourselves for November
Dr. Kate Starbird and her colleagues at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public (CIP) have launched a Substack newsletter devoted to tracking rumours and misinformation concerning the upcoming United States Presidential election.

Counter
I have had truly unpleasant interactions with people I’ve known for years – including with those in academia – during these Olympics. Their loathsome disdain for transgenderism made them attack a non-transgendered woman, a boxer from Algeria, in giddy displays … Continue reading
The speaking body
There has always been an oral-communication component in my upper-level business communications classes. I used to justify this to my students this way: In my own professional life, no matter how beautifully clear and researched the documents my clients pay … Continue reading
“Time is of the essence.”
This story is from the online news publication “Jolt: The Journal of Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater” [in Washington State]: Starting Monday, June 17, Intercity Transit will cease posting rider alerts on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). This decision comes in response … Continue reading
ChatGPT and email
As a university prof, I both teach and, to some extent, accommodate AI platforms in the classroom. This has been a daunting, trying, and humbling experience that requires continual adjustment and correction. But there is no way around it. The … Continue reading
