I’m putting together an event on Assessment and Inclusivity in the age of Gen AI & would love to create an opportunity for people to share what has been working for them. Please do get in touch & spread the word!

Friends! Do you teach/ design assessments in humanities subjects that tend to engage writing as a form of assessment? Have you been exploring new ways of doing this in an age of ChatGPT rather than returning to exams? If you would like to share your experiences in UL in April, please let me know!

And for Dublin friends I’ll be having a launch for Late Heaney in conversation with John Brannigan on Tuesday 3 March at 6pm in Hodges Figgis. It would be good to see you, discounts for Bohs fans.

Interested in doing a PhD, with some lovely people, in a lovely School of English, in a lovely city? 👇😎 www.dcu.ie/english/doct...
