Join CCCC for a critical, nuanced, and thoughtful exploration of generative AI, its costs, and its effects on college writing instruction and writing research. This three-part Reading Circle will be a collaborative space to exchange knowledge and pedagogical practices.
The first session, on October 16 at 5:30 p.m. ET, will feature a discussion of Empire of AI by Karen Hao, facilitated by members Carmen Kynard and Cindy Tekobbe. Registrants can also enter a book giveaway!

The second session (December 10) will feature a discussion of Enduring Digital Damage by Dustin Edwards, and the third session (January 12) will focus on how we might apply Hao’s and Edwards’s work to the teaching of writing.
Throughout this series, members will
- Access research and resources related to generative AI and how it affects labor, land, water, and writing instruction;
- Connect with colleagues who have a shared interest in unpacking issues related to generative AI in writing pedagogy and research;
- Develop pedagogical works in progress with colleagues in the discipline;
- Discuss the ethical implications of generative AI, which is broadly being taken up in writing classrooms and at education institutions across the US and beyond;
- Gain a deeper understanding of the ethical issues of teaching, writing, and doing research with generative AI; and,
- Address approaches to teaching given this new context of ubiquitous generative AI.
