I am a fan of Sheldon Ross' textbooks on probability; they are concise and full of interesting exercises. He and Erol Pek¨oz have just released a second edition of A Second Course in Probability (Cambridge University Press, 2023), which promises a rigorous but accessible and modern introduction to a selection of advanced topics in the field. Javier Esparza's work includes using automata to study model checking, program analysis and verification. His book (coauthored with Michael Blondin) Automata Theory: An Algorithmic Approach (The MIT Press, 2023) emphasizes efficient constructions of (ω-)automata and other algorithmic concerns. Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka (Doubleday, 2024) investigates the pervasive impact of algorithms on consumption and distribution of culture and explores ways to reclaim our freedom from the digital overlord.

Using Scientific Knowledge to Inform Preschool Assessment: Making the Case for “Empirical Validity”
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 crystallized the concern for accountability in education. National testing was mandated as a way to improve the “broken” educational system. Publicly funded early education programs were not spared from such testing. While the positive effects of high-quality early education on children’s later school achievement is well demonstrated, too many early care and educational settings in the United States are of minimal or poor quality. Accountability is clearly important for increasing the quality of our early childhood programs, however, it is not yet evident how best to formulate a standard of accountability that reflects the body of knowledge we have gained concerning how young children learn. In this report, we propose two major thrusts designed to bring about a more scientifically informed accountability system: reconceptualizing the ways in which we think about the validity of our test instruments, and reconceptualizing markers of development from products of learning (performance standards) to processes of learning. We introduce the term “empirical validity” to draw attention to the fact that assessments should be built on current empirical work in the various developmental domains. This report focuses on the domains of language and literacy, two areas of major concern for the Federal Head Start program and for which there is an abundance of current research. This body of knowledge provides many examples illustrating how an emphasis on process rather than product can be vital for improving the quality of education. For example, although vocabulary is centrally important and psychometrically adequate tests of early vocabulary exist, these tests do not measure essential aspects of word learning that have been identified as predictive of later language and reading success in early language learning literature. Our case study of language and literacy illustrates how today’s developmental science offers a new knowledge that can be strategically incorporated in assessments for empirically valid testing of children’s competencies. The same argument for “empirically valid” and evidence-based assessments applies to other domains of cognitive growth and to socio-emotional development. The future of preschool assessment would be well served by attention to primary research that focuses on the processes of learning. In this report, we also suggest that one possible avenue for progress in assessment would center on integrative and dynamic assessment techniques that would comprehensively capture the nature of children’s learning, minimize validity concerns related to context and culture, and evaluate how competencies in different developmental domains interact for optimal learning. To bridge the gap between science and policy, developmental scientists and test developers are urged to work together to create innovative ways to chart the developmental processes that support learning and progress toward social maturity in ways designed to ensure that research findings are continuously reflected in current assessments.
Read moreTeaching & Learning Guide for: Creationism
Author's Introduction Whereas Creationism is usually taught in the context of religion and the history/philosophy of science, this guide has been written in the conviction that creationism is not ultimately about science at all, but is rather about the status of the Bible in the modern world. Creationism as a modern ideology exists in order to defend the authority of the Bible as a repository of trans‐historical truth from the challenges of any and all historical sciences. It belongs to and is inseparable from Protestant Fundamentalists’ desire to resubject the modern world to the authority of the inerrant Bible. Intelligent Design Creationism, to the extent that it distinguishes itself from reactionary biblicism, is a program advocating a supernaturalist, providentialist understanding of the world. This guide outlines an approach to teaching about creationism that situates it in relation to the development, from the early modern period onwards, of the historical, critical study of the Bible and the liberal theology that followed from that study, as well as from the more familiar perspectives of the history and philosophy of science.

Read moreWhat Happened to the Imagery Debate?
What Happened to the Imagery Debate? Peter P. Slezak (p.slezak@unsw.edu.au) Program in Cognitive Science, University of New South Wales Sydney NSW 2052, AUSTRALIA Deja Vu All Over Again? Zenon Pylyshyn’s (2002) recent return to the fray means that at least one thing may be said with certainty about the imagery debate: Despite Kosslyn’s (1994) claim to have resolved the controversy, there has been no progress at all. Worse still, if Pylyshyn’s null hypothesis is right, we don’t have a viable theory of imagery of any kind. The ‘tacit knowledge’ rival to pictorialism, is not itself an alternative theory but rather an indication of the direction in which an adequate theory might be sought - that is, as a theory of high-level belief or knowledge representation. Pylyshyn’s central criticism of pictorial theories echoes Descartes (1637), who insisted that it is enough that the mind adequately represent the properties of the world and does not have to share them. In the same vein, S. Edelman (1998), recently says nobody thinks that a mental representation of a cat is furry. Perhaps not, but it is telling that such views must be repeatedly refuted throughout the history of speculation about the mind. For some reason the case for spatial properties has seemed much more persuasive than the same point regarding furriness. In view of their compellingness, such mistakes evoke Kant’s (1781) distinction between mere errors and certain deeper, inherent cognitive illusions. Thus, I disagree with Pylyshyn only regarding his optimism in hoping that, by repeating his powerful arguments loudly and slowly, he might succeed this time where he has failed before. Sufficient grounds for my skepticism is the fact that the Imagery Debate is perhaps the most remarkable modern duplication of controversies concerning the nature of ‘ideas’ which have persisted not just for thirty years but since the seventeenth century. In this recent re-enactment, Pylyshyn has played Arnauld (1683) against Kosslyn’s Malebranche (1712) See Slezak (1992, 1995, 2002). Of course, Pylyshyn is not vindicated merely because he was anticipated by Descartes and Arnauld. The striking historical parallels suggest that the fundamental problems at stake do not arise in any essential way from the data of modern experiments and computational theories. Indeed, just as we would expect in this case, we see a recurrence of the same perplexities not only throughout history, but also in more or less independent domains of cognitive science today. What these doctrines have in common is the mistake of assuming that we apprehend our mental states rather than just have them. It is clear why such an implicit conception leads to positing a representational format - sentences or pictures - which is paradigmatically the sort of thing requiring an external, intelligent observer – the notorious homunculus. Computer simulation of certain theories does not necessarily prove pictorialism innocent of this charge. As Rorty put it, there is no advance in replacing the little man in the head by a little machine in the head. As Pylyshyn argues, resort to neuroscience is no help either. Despite the jaundiced views of philosophical arguments (as distinct from “strictly empirical science”) expressed by some pictorialists, Pylyshyn's critique suggests there remain grounds for Wittgenstein’s (1953) gibe “in psychology there are experimental methods and conceptual confusion”.

Read morePractising everyday climate cultures: understanding the cultural politics of climate change.
The UN’s ‘recover better’ (UN 2020a) statement of attaching climate mitigation to COVID-19 recovery plans and the desire of much of the UK public to ‘build back better’ through support for a more climate-friendly, green economy (Vaughan 2020) has yet to be fully materialized in policy and has seemingly lost traction in efforts to fast-track the opening up of global economies. For example, the UN has teamed up with Futerra and other environment and development consultancy groups to develop the ‘good life goals’ as an accessible entry point for the public to engage with the SDGs at the level of the everyday.
