March 9 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

In the dawn of accessible AI-generated writing, we are forced to go back to the basics and ask ourselves: What is writing? Why do we ask our students to write? How is writing related to critical thinking?

This informal session will give participants an opportunity to reflect on their own relationships to writing and share ideas on how we might foster a love for the writing process in our students. This conversation is the first in a series on the topic of AI and writing in the college classroom.

This conversation will be hosted by the community of practice members Jeff Gandell (WID), Daniel Goldsmith (DALC), Robert Stephens (AI) & Brian Redekopp (AI).
