For that project, I was reading a lot of phenomenology, including Edmund Husserl, Alfred Shutz, Don Ihde, and Paul Ricoeur.

I appreciate Matthew Kirschenbaum & Rita Raley’s attention to labor conditions when they write of the burdens that “fall disproportionately on those who may not have the luxury of engaging otherwise: not only those with obscene course loads but also instructors who do not set their own syllabi, writing center tutors, and the staffers in teaching resource centers.”

"In short, we demonstrate that our call for GenAI refusal is not uninformed, moral outcry as a result of technological 'aversion,' fear of change, or other so-called 'doom and gloom' views of technological advancement as it is often framed, but rather extends on our disciplinary knowledge in rhetoric, writing, and composition studies, digital rhetorics and literacies, computers and writing, and technical communication."

Freewriting, Blobs, and an Update on AI

 Mastodon hashtags: #writingcommunity, #teachingwriting I knew I had written a blog post on AI, but I couldn’t find it here. Then I remembered that it had been posted to the ERWC blog as “What Should English Teachers Do about ChatGPT?'” That was in January 2023. At that time my recommended strategy was “Help students use the tool wisely and effectively.” That is still probably the best advice for now.
