About Jane Rosenzweig
Since ChatGPT was released in 2022, writing instructors from across the world have found each other on social media, at conferences, and through newsletters to share information, teaching ideas, and more. While there are some great repositories of assignments and approaches to teaching writing in the era of generative AI, there’s no substitute for talking to colleagues about what works, what doesn’t work, what problems we’re encountering, and what we’re discovering.
The goal of “The Important Work” is to bring some of those conversations to a wider audience. Each newsletter will be a dispatch from someone’s classroom—a reflection on an assignment that incorporates AI or one that actively doesn’t, a reckoning with what we’re gaining and losing, a call for advice or feedback from others who are experimenting in the classroom.
We’ll use the comments to share information, suggestions, and questions. If you’re interested in writing a post for “The Important Work”—or if you have suggestions, please email me at janerosenzweigwrites@gmail.
