  2. Our article has finally been assigned to an official volume/issue in @Teaching in Higher Education (Vol. 30, Issue 4)! 🎉 Juuso Nieminen of Deakin University is the lead author!
    This article asks how #AuthenticAssessment can empower #students as #knowledge #creators.
    This Open Access article explores how authentic assessment can foster students’ #epistemic #agency—their ability to use, evaluate, and produce knowledge. Based on a qualitative case study of a digitally-mediated #archaeology course, the findings show students became (i) active learners, (ii) critical users of knowledge, and (iii) contributors to public archaeological knowledge.
    Reframing assessment through an epistemological lens, our study highlights how authentic tasks can support academic growth and social good. 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.1080/13562517.2024.

  5. @Koenfucius Here's SEP's take on the topic, plato.stanford.edu/entries/sel, and here IEP's entry on the ethics of it, iep.utm.edu/eth-self/

    For me, self-deception remains an epistemic vice par excellence, no matter it's evolutionary origins or short-term psychological benefits.

  6. Really important paper from @[email protected] et. al. arguing for the essential role of #epistemic clarity for a functional #democracy.

    Broken info #ecosystems pose serveral vulnerabilities and systemic #asymmetries that allow bad actors to manipulate public discourse and citizens, to all our detriment

  7. Here, Paul Krugman argues that Elon Musk and his ilk lack #epistemic meta-competence (i.e., knowing when you don't know enough to make a good decision yourself, without seeking out help). #EpistemicCognition in the news!

  8. New #paper 📢

    #EricMensah and I published a paper that reveals #power #asymmetries, material & #epistemic #inequalities in the #global #environmentall #governance, with special attention to the #EU's roles.

    The paper employs dependency and modernisation theories to problematise the EU's share in global #deforestation, evidenced by the existing datasets.

  9. The #technological disruption of our #info sphere has led to the #fragmentation of our #perception of #reality, and with it, a perpetual epistemic #crisis where people are increasingly #unable to tell what is #real and #true online.

    Social media dynamics foster #outrage and #intergroup #conflict for #engagement.

    #Conspiracy theories are in large part driven by #epistemic, #social and #existential motivations.

    Now add an existential crisis like a #pandemic on top.

    Perfect mix for #disaster.

  10. It feels like with Elon Musk's confusing public descend into madness, people are slowly waking up to the weird powers of technology/society interfaces.

    It is not surprising. It is complex. And it is going to get worse for democracy, unless we do something.

  11. The #scientific endeavor is our only true #humanity-spanning collaborative project, the motor that powers our #civilization and the one method we have to ground the #fragmented realities of our messy human #beliefs in shared larger #truths. It is the antidote to #epistemic #nihilism.

    #Science also provides the necessary cool against the heat of public discussion, the pace of day-to-day commentary, and our hot-headed human #immaturity that resurfaced with the new #information #systems.
