Presenters: Brandon Bisbey, Northeastern Illinois University
Olivia Cronk, Northeastern Illinois University
Ruth Llana, Northeastern Illinois University
Ryan Poll, Northeastern Illinois University Artificial intelligence already shapes classrooms, archives, and student writing, yet humanities faculty remain divided on its implications. This workshop convenes four interdisciplinary scholars from English and Spanish—working across composition, creative writing, literary studies, and cultural studies—who stake out differing positions: two advocate critical resistance to LLM dependency, while two approach AI with ambivalence, as a tool demanding engagement rather than rejection. Framed by the conference's archive theme, presenters pair theorists (including Hayles, Raley, Dubreuil, and Berlant) with classroom practice. Rather than resolving debate, the workshop treats disagreement as a resource, offering concrete strategies and sharpened theoretical stakes.

Presenters: Paula Reiter, Mount Mary University
Kimberly Baldus, University of Missouri–St. Louis
Abbie Joranger, Mount Mary University
Lesley Sieger-Walls, University of Missouri–St. Louis This workshop uses Ian McEwan’s What We Can Know to address a central problem of contemporary scholarship and pedagogy: we are surrounded by digital information yet increasingly cut off from meaningful records, stable evidence, and trustworthy tools. McEwan’s novel makes visible the crisis scholars now face as readers, researchers, and educators: how to evaluate sources, sustain interpretive rigor, and preserve meaningful inquiry when the archive itself is unstable. The session’s goal is to help participants design student work by developing assignments that foreground source evaluation, evidence gaps, transparency, and reflective engagement with what can and cannot be known.
