Perhaps the most relevant question we are facing today, both in and out of the university, is how to deal with AI. In academia, different disciplines handle this question in a myriad of ways, some insisting that to not embrace AI in the classroom is harmful to the students, while others believe the utilization of AI must weaken critical thinking skills. Regardless of the differing opinions on how to use it appropriately, no one disagrees that it is here to stay.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Great Britain has a rich and varied history when it comes to true crime. This statement applies as much to the crimes themselves as it does to media producers’ coverage of them. While a global canon of true crime is forming, there has to date still been an emphasis placed on Western narratives according to American culture, with crimes from this region dominating media attention. However, Britain itself has a long history of true crime that warrants further critical attention, to include some of the most prolific serial killers within the genre: Fred and Rose West; Harold Shipman; John Christie; Dennis Nilsen; and, more recently, and controversially, Lucy Letby.
