UNESCO Archives AtoM catalogue

What a great question!

I don't know, but if I were to look into it, I'd start with the archival records of the International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation atom.archives.unesco.org/iiic

I have a feeling @joakimlandahl.bsky.social may know the answer for the field of education

hey dear history-of-science-community: is there an equivalent to the Solvay-conference on physics 1927 (Brussels) in other disciplines that can be regarded as forming moment of a research field? Any in the SSH?

The Age of Academic Slop is Upon Us what happens when AI automates "normal science"?

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

You may think about diploma mills what you will, but a diploma in "Divine Healing"β€”obtained through <check notes> hard work "with God and angels" (how else!)β€”may as well be just what one sometimes needs.

Ok higher education students and adjacent people, what’s new to read?

Imagine today a line in a publication of this kind (this one was of the American Council on Education), which says something like, "You may experience racism upon arriving in our country, especially in some parts, but we assure you we are not all like that."

Thinking about it alone blows my mind.

True that. They did have quotas though, although those going to study, at least from some countries (not really sure how that worked, the doc doesn't say), would be exempt if they present the right documents.

I mean, all things considered, one has to admire the honesty here.

And the possibility that a college officer may invite you to their home, "out of genuine friendship." 😊

It's 1928, and you're about to travel to the United States to study.

Here's all you should know about its climate and food, such as that "salads in great variety are characteristic of the American table" and "obviously, clothing appropriate for zero out-of-doors is uncomfortable at 37Β° indoors."
