Last week, Colin Dabkowski and Graham Stowe returned to the Conversations on AI Symposia Series for a panel focused on teaching students to write with generative artificial intelligence. A recording of the discussion is now available on the Canisius COLI YouTube channel.
Colin is in his fifth year at Alden High School, where he teaches English 12, creative writing, acting, and multimedia production. He is also the adviser of Alden High School’s Theater Club, its gender-sexuality alliance, and its creative writing club. Before becoming a teacher, he spent 12 years as the arts critic of The Buffalo News.
Graham is assistant professor of English at Canisius and director of the Writing Center. He has taught a variety of university courses focused on writing pedagogy, American literature, cultural studies, and Harry Potter. His research currently focuses on writing pedagogy and Paulo Freire’s theories on education.
The AI and Society Initiative thanks Colin and Graham for their time, insights, and an excellent discussion on the relationship between student writing and AI chatbots!
The Conversations on AI Symposia are organized by the AI and Society Initiative, a multi-disciplinary community of schools, centers, departments and faculty at Canisius University that’s dedicated to understanding generative artificial intelligence, its implications, and applications for our disciplines and professions.
