Ellen Berrey, Kristen Bass, Nathan Kim, and I present some trends from our new dataset of higher ed protests from 2012 to 2018 in the US and Canada. Some initial findings...<br/><br/>1. Higher ed protests concern university governance, anti-racism, and labor. <br/>2. US protests are often national in nature, but take local instantiations, esp. wrt to racist police violence. <br/>3. Canadian protests focus on public tuition and anti-austerity measures by provinces.<br/><br/><a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/qv7yf">https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/qv7yf</a> 2024-08-14T16:56:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsytxgc9hr65yqu9va84wfwpea9hzz2xpqr0sla3umlmyq4w0kek3czyr9gf02wn02lgelh2sh5ddxdnea7cna2wq8f3a7vg33t7nxd2klnjsqusqk So is the &#34;AI&#34; part of Microsoft Recall just...
