Prof. Megan McIntyre of the University of Arkansas (and former SSU Writing Programs Director!) recently co-authored an essay called “Refusing GenAI in Writing Studies: A Quickstart Guide.” To help faculty better understand the strengths and challenges of this position, CTET’s John Lynch will facilitate a panel discussion including Megan herself, Prof. John Sullins III (Philosophy), and Prof. Deborah Roberts (Nursing).
