The Intersection of AI and Linguistic Justice

Has AI rocked your world as an instructor?

In this workshop, we'll delve into how AI has changed the landscape of writing and examine it through the lens of linguistic justice.

What does this mean for our student voices? How can we uplift all of our students' voices in our classes?

We'll provide practical applications for improving our instruction to best serve our students.

Presenters

Michelle Gonzales, English faculty at Las Positas College, is the daughter of teen mom and Chicano student movement participants/supporters. She is a linguistic justice pd trainer for the Puente statewide office and author of a punk rock memoir, The Spitboy Rule: Tales of a Xicana in a Female Punk Band. Her peer reviewed chapter on identity in writing and strengths-based assessment will be published in Reconceptualizing Response by Utah State University Press. She holds a BA in English/Creative Writing with a minor in Ethnic Studies and a MFA in English/Creative Writing both from Mills College.

Kisha Quesada Turner (she/her, yo/yo’s) is a former emcee and child of 90s Hip Hop, and these positionalities explain her approach to being an educator and professional development trainer.

Linguistically and stylistically, she describes herself as part Jay-Z and part Barack Obama with dollops of Bahamadia and The Lady of Rage. As a Black graduate of PWIs, yo is long- and hyper-aware of the richness of Black Englishes and the unfortunate under-utilization of them in classrooms.

Participants can expect to hear Hip Hop references, song/rap lyrics, espanol a veces, txt talk, slang, and Queer vernaculars.

Her interests are Queer theory, Hop Hop, Linguistic Justice, and Game of Thrones."
