Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

The Deluge: notes on a leading climate fiction novel

These administrators, most especially deans and deanlets, were sapping the faculty’s roles, … Continue reading

Generations: thoughts on Blade Runner 2049
We watched Blade Runner 2049 last night and were mystified. It was hard to pin down our overall reactions. Yes, the film was gorgeous, my children and I agreed, but was it any good? What was it getting at? What … Continue reading
How not to write about public education
Public higher education is the largest chunk of American academia. That makes bad writing about it especially annoying. Today’s case study is entitled “Halting the Erosion of State Support for Higher Education”, written by Sheldon H. Jacobson (University of Illinois … Continue reading
