Creative Community Conversation: Feminist Pedagogy and Generative AI

Facilitator: Dr. Kristina Gupta, Associate Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Wake Forest University, Member-at-Large and Member Liaison, NWSA

Guest Presenter: Dr. Sarah Small, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Utah

Description: Educators are currently grappling with the implications of ChatGPT and generative AI for higher education, asking questions such as: what should we even be teaching if generative AI can perform complex textual analysis at the advanced undergraduate level (and higher)? (How) should we be assessing student learning? (How) can generative AI be used creatively to assist student learning? However, few approach this conversation from the perspective of feminist pedagogy. In this creative conversation we will tackle the important questions raised by generative AI from the standpoint of feminist pedagogy. Come ask questions, share ideas and strategies, and wonder creatively together with other feminist educators. We will be joined by special guest presenter Dr. Sarah Small, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Utah, book review editor for Feminist Economics, and author of “Generative AI and Opportunities for Feminist Classroom Assignments" (2023), published in Feminist Pedagogy.
