So much of our work as academics and graduate students involves writing, especially in the social sciences and humanities. But what does writing mean in an era when ChatGPT can write an academic article and even thesis? How might we engage GenAI responsibly as writers? What tools are out there? What should we, as faculty members and students, be aware of? What is UBC doing with regards to the use of GenAI in graduate education?

If you want to learn more about any of these questions, please come listen to our illustrious UBC panelists who can enlighten us all!
