course explores how the uncritical adoption of AI in higher education threatens
academic professions and student learning by intensifying labor, risking job
losses, and enabling corporate control over teaching and research. Drawing on
the AAUP’s new report, Prof. Britt Paris will examine principles such as shared
governance, faculty and student rights over technology use, and strategies for
building collective power. Participants will gain insights into how AI’s
deployment shapes labor, education justice, and the very possibility of
democratic participation.</span></p>
