Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Learning Languages on Social Media
Q: So talk to us about the difference between learning a language formally versus informally, and what got you interested in studying this contrast?
Formal learning is classroom-based, structured, and teacher-led, while informal learning happens through self-directed activities on social media, often driven by authentic, real-life language, which sparked my interest during the COVID period when TikTok emerged as a global phenomenon.
Angela I. Fritz, "AI and Digital Leadership: Transforming Libraries, Archives, and Museums for the Future" (Bloomsbury, 2026)
Q: What organizational models might better support sustained digital transformations in GLAM institutions?
She advocates for core stewardship services that centralize acquisitions, processing, metadata management, and preservation, enabling human-in-the-loop oversight and cross-functional collaboration, rather than rigid department silos.
Angela I. Fritz, "AI and Digital Leadership: Transforming Libraries, Archives, and Museums for the Future" (Bloomsbury, 2026)
Q: So what is information governance, and how should digital leaders approach information governance in relation to AI ethics, accountability, and responsible data stewardship?
Fritz emphasizes that information governance is foundational and should be embedded, not bolted on; it involves formal boards or committees, clear policies, and ongoing training to align AI adoption with existing governance structures and values, while also promoting transparency and inclusive practice.
Counter-Revolutionary Puzzles with Guillermo Badia
Q: Can you begin by telling us a little about yourself and how you came to be doing your academic work?
The guest describes his Cuban upbringing, the limited philosophy studies under the dictatorship, and how his exposure to logic through the Stanford Encyclopedia and mentorship led him to pursue philosophy and mathematics, eventually leading to a PhD opportunity in Otago, New Zealand.
Angus Burgin on the Rise of the Internet
Q: What were you doing in March of 1999?
Angus describes his life as a Harvard undergraduate finishing his freshman year, with the Internet rapidly becoming a part of daily life in college and the broader cultural context surrounding it.
