Facilitators: Yunyi Chen, Centre for Teaching and Learning; and Johanna Amos, Student Academic Success Services
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 26, 2025; 10:30am-12:00pm
Location: Zoom
This conversational workshop explores the relationship between linguistic justice and generative AI (GenAI) technologies and considers how linguistic equity can be promoted in academic spaces in the age of artificial intelligence. Participants will be introduced to linguistic justice as an anti-racist approach to language use and will discover how GenAI tools, trained predominantly on “White Mainstream English,” can amplify linguistic inequities in the classroom. Following a discussion of the linguistic challenges posed by GenAI, participants will collaboratively brainstorm strategies for critically evaluating GenAI outputs and advancing linguistic diversity and equity more broadly.

Accessibility Statement
The Centre for Teaching and Learning strives to make its events accessible to all members of the Queen’s community by offering some online and others in-person, as well as recording wherever possible. There are many factors that influence and constrain how online offerings are designed, delivered, and facilitated. We recognize however that this design and approach does not result in identical experiences for all. If possible, contact ctl@queensu.ca in advance for any access needs or accommodation. Facilitators will be available throughout the the session should accessibility needs arise, and you can always reach out to ctl@queensu.ca.
