The Supreme Court’s inaction hands governments new power to pull titles, and puts Americans’ First Amendment rights at risk. Imagine that you decided to go to your local library to check out a book but you couldn’t find it on the shelf. You ask the librarian for help locating it, but they inform you it’s not available—not because someone else has checked it out, but because the government has physically removed it after deciding they don’t want you to read it. This isn’t the plot of a dystopian novel, it’s the reality that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed in its recent decision to not hear arguments in the book ban case: Leila Green Little et al. v. Llano County. In leaving the Fifth Circuit ruling in place, SCOTUS effectively granted state and local governments in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas the authority to determine what materials you can and cannot read. This means people in these states do not have the same First Amendment rights as the rest of the country. And that should raise alarm for everyone.

Our book, Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI, was featured by Forbes in an article by Dan Fitzpatrick titled “8 AI Books Published in 2025 That Every Educator Needs on Their Shelf.” The article highlights the book’s value in bringing together diverse scholarly and practical perspectives on generative AI in education. In particular, Professor Jason Gulya of Berkeley College (a contributor to the book) noted the strength of the volume’s range of voices and approaches, emphasizing its balance of theoretical and applied perspectives, as well as its thoughtful treatment of both the promise and the potential perils of AI technologies in teaching and learning.

Philosophy majors rank higher than all other majors on verbal and logical reasoning, according to our new study published in the Journal of the American Philosophical Association. They also tend to display more intellectual virtues such as curiosity and open-mindedness. Philosophers have long claimed that studying philosophy sharpens one’s mind. What sets philosophy apart from other fields is that it is not so much a body of knowledge as an activity – a form of inquiry. Doing philosophy involves trying to answer fundamental questions about humanity and the world we live in and subjecting proposed answers to critical scrutiny: constructing logical arguments, drawing subtle distinctions and following ideas to their ultimate – often surprising – conclusions. It makes sense, then, that studying philosophy might make people better thinkers. But as philosophers ourselves, we wondered whether there is strong evidence for that claim.

Considerations for the School Districts in Considering Large Scale AI Model DealsAs Artificial Intelligence (AI) and frontier AI models rapidly reshape the educational landscape, school systems face a dual challenge: harnessing these tools' transformative potential while rigorously safeguarding student data, privacy, and well-being.

To prevent students from relying on artificial intelligence to write and do homework for them, many professors are returning to pre-technology assessments and having students finish essays in class.

Educators face a growing sense of concern about artificial intelligence. New tools enter classrooms faster than policies can adapt. National authorities release guidance documents that outline principles for safe or ethical use. Universities add statements to their syllabi about transparency and good conduct. Companies offer free training modules that show teachers how to integrate their platforms into lesson plans. These efforts have value, yet they sit on the surface of a deeper problem. Most decisions that shape how AI works occur far from the people who will live with the consequences.

Much passionate rhetoric about professors' reliance on lecturing has been published over the decades. Reformers have called for reducing the lecture method and increasing student participation or active learning. Yet the fact remains that most professors and instructors in higher education continue to lecture. The most recent figures I have seen are from a 2018…
