Call for Proposals
Whether discussing teaching, writing, or both, AI seems an inescapable topic. Between considerable interest and none, chances are that AI has upended, threatened, enhanced, or even transformed, in some measure, your work and the work of your students. Now that AI is entrenched, how has your teaching changed? Do you have any concerns? Are you excited? Has the use of AI in your classroom been a burden, boon, or bust?
Last year, we hosted a conference on writing in the age of AI. This year, we would like to focus more on teaching in the age of AI: teaching AI, teaching with AI, teaching for AI, teaching against AI, and teaching despite AI. We are looking for both forests and trees, approaches and assignments. We are as interested in your philosophies as your lessons. There are no litmus or ideology tests.
We invite proposals that address AI and teaching thoughtfully, dynamically, and compellingly. To these ends, we are interested in topics that not only span but also go beyond this list of possibilities:
Pedagogy
-
Lesson Planning with AI
-
Creating Assignments with AI

Lecture and Discussion Topic Ideation with AI
-
Revisiting Traditional Techniques with AI
