from Boba Samuels, HSWC Director

On May 31, 2025, our research team of Joel Benabu, Marvin Lam, Danielle Martek, and myself (Boba), led by Michael Cournoyea, facilitated a workshop at the annual conference of the Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing, held at George Brown's beautiful waterfront campus. We presented a summary of our work this year on asking students about their use of genAI and creating policy guidelines, and we led participants through small group discussions about challenging scenarios based on our experiences in 1:1 sessions with students. Our presentation was well received, and we all found it helpful to share the discussions we've been having at our centre with other Canadian writing instructors.

Many thanks to the team who participated and Michael for leading! It was a real pleasure to work together to create our presentation.

I look forward to future collaborations and research amongst our group!
