Join us for this workshop that moves us from surveillance to partnership, Who Had Help Before AI? Rethinking Equity and Student Support with Natalee Cifuentes on Wednesday, April 8 from 12:45 p.m.–2 p.m. (KF Room library).
Student AI use is pervasive, often secretive, and creates an exhausting "us vs. them" dynamic. We've been here before—calculators, Wikipedia, Google. The technology changes, but the anxiety doesn't.
But here's what's different: Who had access to tutors, office hours, and writing support before AI? Students with money and time. AI is free and available 24/7. What if it's actually democratizing?
Through real scenarios and practical redesign work, we'll examine our assumptions, explore equity implications, and shift one practice from power-over to power-with. No AI expertise required — just curiosity and a willingness to rethink our approach.
