I don't think I've ever written an here. Now, I'm doing it elsewhere in the context of my research in the , so, I'm also sharing it here:
I'm a technical researcher coming from , based in , Italy and with interest in multidisciplinary collaborations. Due to the shoot-in-the-foot nature of Italian politics (https://en.ilsole24ore.com/art/crui-manoeuvre-cuts-mean-country-does-not-need-universities-AGBrKdx), my (not yet tenure-track) 4-year collaboration with was suspended until further notice and I'm currently collaborating with the Minors on the Move project (https://prinminorsonthemove.wordpress.com/team, my role is interactive geomapping) on behalf of . Previously, I've worked on societal values (https://doi.org/10.46298/jdmdh.13120), Early Modern English (https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3865/#02_paper), translation history (https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3558/#paper774, https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/#paper14) and Old Church Slavonic (https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/#short8, http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3246/#03_paper-6921). Typically, I bring together expertise from usability and information awareness to develop new collaborative approaches to data exploration and technology dissemination.

Really wishing there was a good textbook reading app for someone with both visual and cognitive .

I just started a new course at Colorado Christian University, and this week's reading is 7 chapters from a book called Introducing Christian Doctrine—which is pretty heavy stuff. I've been struggling just to get through the first chapter.

I tried reading in Word with JAWS, but quick navigation keys keep getting disabled, and adding comments isn’t very accessible. So I switched to the ePub version in Bookworm, which lets me add bookmarks, named bookmarks, and comments. That’s been a huge help.

For notes, I’m using Joplin, which works well for organizing thoughts in Markdown. And when I hit a sentence I don’t understand—like “propounded dogmatically” (what even is that?)—I just open Copilot in the browser and ask for a plain-language explanation.

It’s not perfect, but it’s working. I just wish there were tools designed with both cognitive load and screen reader accessibility in mind. Reading theology is hard enough without fighting the tech too.

(My degree is in computer science, but theology is part of the core curriculum.)

A special thank you to the useful idiots in the tech world who spent the last decade vilifying those of us who spoke out against Big Tech while providing them with social capital and legitimacy, oftentimes benefitting financially from the transaction.

We couldn’t have made it here without you.

@dalias @aral has been captured since the early days of "free" Google and Apple's dominance of schools. The language used by teachers and administrators is telling, tech coaches are see as 'evangelists' for products and services. It's mostly about how to use a product or tool and rarely about what is being produced. And every few years a new saviour arrives. Ten years ago every child who didn't learn to code was going to be left behind. Now it's AI.
