Call for Papers: AI and What It Means to Create: A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation
Extended Deadline: 27 March 2023
Considerations of AI in the humanities can often feel cataclysmic or even apocalyptic. While discussing concerns is undoubtedly important, this panel turns towards the question of how departments can support informed and creative responses to, and good practice regarding, AI technology. This cross-disciplinary conversation aims to attract speakers from writing studies, literary studies, and creative writing, all examining what AI means for teaching, writing, and creating.

The practice known as close reading has been for decades one of the central methodological commitments of literary studies. Consolidated, articulated, and promulgated as part of the professionalization of the field during the New Critical era, close reading survived the theory wars (gaining traction, even, thanks to deconstruction).

In 2015, the United Nations approved the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which came to give continuity to the process of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
