From the time were kids, were asked, What do you want to be when you grow up? Its a big question one that many students struggle to answer. Without real exposure to different career paths or learning about careers they may never have heard of, students often make choices based on limited information, missing out on opportunities that align with their skills and interests.

I met Jon Marks in 2015, when I enrolled in the Masters program in anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I had just finished a Bachelors degree in anthropology and philosophy at East Carolina University, full of ideas but unsure where they might lead. I was lucky to have been mentored by Linda Wolfe at ECU, a biological anthropologist with sharp instincts and a habit of cutting straight to the point.

Gen Z is in an awkward phase. Parsing education data into snack-sized servings.

Im thinking about a theory for using AI in history education. By theory, I mean what I expect to be true based on general ideas and principles, but something that has not been proven in practice.

The Myth of the Migrating Phoenician In classical texts, the Phoenicians are seafaring masterminds—shipbuilders, traders, and creators of the world’s first alphabet. Their imprint stretched from their Levantine heartland across the Mediterranean: Tunisia, Sicily, Sardinia, even Iberia. When Carthage rose to power in the first millennium BCE, it carried the banner of this civilization to new imperial heights.

When I went to college, I knew one thing: I wanted to play tennis. Beyond that, I had no clue. I went to an open house at NKU, and during the welcome session they told everyone to go meet with their major. I didnt know if that meant I had to choose right then, but I assumed I did. And once I pick something I stick with it. So, I chose education. It wasnt some deeply thought-out decision.

Something has been happening on college campuses thats as surprising as it is dramatic: The number of women enrolled has overtaken the number of men. Women now outnumber men by about 60 percent to 40 percent, and that gaps keep getting wider. And men who do enroll are also more likely to drop out. There are a lot of reasons for this. Boys get lower grades than girls, on average, in elementary and middle schools.
