UCD Teaching & Learning are pleased to present a featured speaker series on Generative AI in Higher Education. The speakers have a wide range of experiences and bring external insights to UCD. As commercial GenAI tools continue to influence higher education discussions, this series offers the UCD Teaching & Learning community opportunities to engage with leading voices in educational technology, pedagogy, and assessment innovation. Each session will explore different dimensions of how GenAI is impacting conversations on teaching practices, curriculum design, and student learning experiences. These conversations aim to support colleagues in navigating the challenges and possibilities that GenAI presents, while fostering thoughtful, equity-minded approaches to technology integration in our teaching.

Dr Marie Heath is Chair of Education Specialties, Associate Professor of Learning Design & Technology, and a Faculty Associate at the Center for Research and Evaluation at Loyola University Maryland. As co-founder and co-executive director of the Civics of Technology project, she interrogates how technologies function as sites of encoded oppression in schools and society. Heath's scholarship employs critical theory to examine AI and digital technologies in education, asking how we can advance technology education for more just futures. Her recently released book, co-authored with Stephanie Smith Budhai from Harvard Education Press, Critical AI in K-12 Classrooms, offers practical guidance for cultivating joy and justice in educational technology.
