This article… “Less-wrong, Uncertainty-honoring science acknowledges that our problems in the real world are more multidimensional than we would like.

Justice, Daniel Heath (April, 2020). “Demanding Kinder, Gentler Classrooms Doesn’t Make You A Snowflake.” Link: https://thewalrus.ca/demanding-kinder-classrooms-doesnt-make-you-a-snowflake/
I read this article when I completed the University of British Columbia’s Teaching Development Program for New Faculty, and it has stayed with me since.

This contribution reviews the present literature on the issues of the…

By converting a well-structured problem into an ill-structured one,…

Abegglen, S., Burns, T., & Sinfield, S. (Eds.) (2023). Higher education collaboration: A new ecology of practice.
https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?docid=b-9781350334083 “Collaboration in Higher Education,” an open-access book, addresses the pressing need for collaboration and partnership in higher education.

Stanley Budner, N. Y. (1962). Intolerance of ambiguity as a personality variable. Journal of Personality, 30(1), 29–50.
This is a condensed version of Budner’s 1960 PhD thesis. It posits that people have a given tolerance for ambiguity and provides a test for exploring that in an individual. Here’s a good version of the quiz on its own. Stanley Budner, N. Y. (1962). Intolerance of ambiguity as a personality variable. Journal of Personality,…
