We will dig deeper into how GenAI invites us to interact with it and consider if and how its design may impact our behavior and academic work. We will take a close look at examples of our own experiences with the tool, and scrutinize the various affordances, pitfalls, and our reactions. The goal is to work towards a more reflective practice when interacting with GenAI, irrespective of specific domains.

Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your experiences to share.
