Talks & Workshops
I talk with people, not at them.
​
For me, speaking at a conference, conducting workshops, or consulting about a product built using AI is a conversation. Together, we explore questions about the educational value of AI and think about educational and administrative problems AI might help solve.
Here are some recent talks:
​
-
What is an LLM doing in my classroom? at the AAC&U Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum. We talked about my experiences using AI in my classroom to explore strategies for engaging faculty about how they might use it.
​
-
Let’s Confabulate at Leepfrog Technologies HQ in Iowa City. We talked about our perception of what large AI models do, creating a common understanding of AI across functional areas.
​​
-
What’s so Critical about Critical AI? at the Institute for Law Teaching & Learning Spring Conference in Philadelphia. We talked about how critical perspectives on the technologies we call artificial intelligence inform their use in the classroom.
​
-
A Phaedrus Moment: If Socrates was wrong, does that make LLMs all right? at Perusall Exchange. We talked about how Socrates's skepticism about the educational value of writing can help us think about generative AI as a teaching tool.
​
-
The Boring Revolution: How AI Will Change Education and the Workplace, and Why You Might Not Even Notice at Explorance World in Montreal. You can watch a 1-minute clip or the whole keynote on YouTube.
I can provide enthusiastic references for any of these talks upon request.
