Hey, #academicchatter & #academicmastodons, is there any solution to update metadata for existing items in Zotero? Like in Mendeley

#academicmastodons : seeking recommendations for texts and videos to include in the syllabus for my special topics course this semester on the Legal Tools of White Supremacy.

The course will draw on the history of the US and South Africa to understand whether and how various legal proposals today in the US and elsewhere are designed to undermine multiracial democracy.

Need to find more academics on here. Any recommendations? #LTHEChat #AcademicChatter #academicmastodons

@buherator @internetarchive I teach all my students how to use it for their research. #academicmastodons #Research #professors #writingcommunity
So I’m new to the whole teaching and supporting students part of working at a university (instead of just researching). How strict are you with (interim) deadlines? For example, what if they’ve engaged but missed a deadline? #AcademicTooting #academicmastodons
@pkrugman To be fair, the CEO over here is far cooler than any that have been at Hellbird. And it didn’t take Craig Ferguson & John Cleese signing up to convince me to use this one. #TwitterMigration #betterfuture #academicmastodons
I primarily trace the origins of technoscientific imaginaries in algorithms, including policing. Background is genocide studies and critical theory. I teach integrative studies to STEM students and enjoy the hell out of it. Interested in building a new bubble here that is more discussion and way less rage tweeting. #academicmastodons #histodons
