Marc Watkins, Rhetorica, Apr 27, 2026 This is a good overview of the recent discussion of teaching and /learning centres, beginning with Paul Schofield's recent criticism of them, and following up with a summary of some more notable responses. Marc Watkins characterizes the original article in the Chronicle of Higher Education as 'grievance farming', a trend in social media and online journalism that has become more prevalent in recent years as a means of attracting attention.
Of course, it's worth noting that the Chronicle has been doing this for years; usually it just goes unnoticed behind the paywall. Overall, the Watkins article is a good overview and should put this incident to bed. Web: [Direct Link] [This Post]
