Anyone interested in joining me for an editing roundtable proposal for #4C26? Sara West is in, too! We have no other details yet but should move quickly since proposals are due in a few weeks. Also tagging #cwcon and #cwcon25 in case!
Jennifer Sano-Franchini asks us to consider what we mean by “critical” in critical thinking, critical literacy, etc. #cwcon
missing #cwcon this week to be at a most fabulous Texas wedding instead. shall wait excitedly to hear about next year's conference!
Having a great time at #cwcon! If there's a group of people thinking reflectively and critically about AI (and everything else technology), this is it.
#Editing a journal is more than selecting and proofing texts. It is ensuring that the journal adequately and accurately reflects the [diverse] populations of the journal's contributors and readers.

#Writing is thinking. If we outsource writing because of #AI, are we outsourcing thinking as well? - Tham
#cwcon #cwcon25
No shade, but how do we spend an hour talking about AI and writing pedagogy and not talk about the environmental calculus of tech expansionism? #cwcon
Does #AI really save time in #writing, or does it ADD tasks to our lists of to-dos because of its instigation of extra editing and consideration of how well it has conveyed our ideas? Are we diminishing writing quality by eliminating human deliberations over content and style? - Tham

#cwcon Tham: timescapes of writing with AI: compression of drafting time; expansion of evaluation time; elimination of incubation time; fragmentation of writing time
#cwcon Jason Tham takes a balanced view of AI use in teaching writing but ultimately asks whose time has been saved by AI efficiency (if any has been saved at all) - and notes AI’s erasure of labor. Writing takes time (and should), and reducing time reduces quality.
TODAY at 4:45, I'm chairing & presenting on a #cwcon25 panel on #agency & #writing about place through #digitaltechnologies such as #googlemymaps and #socialmedia. I'll be Zooming in from the great state of CT, but join my fabulous co-panelists in person in Room 147!

What does it mean to be an #author in the era of #AI? If AI is used to #write or #edit part or all of a piece, can humans really claim full #authorship?
#cwcon #cwcon25 "#Authorship in the #AgeofAI: Defining #AuthorialIdentity, #Legitimacy, and #Embodiment"
#Writing is, and should be, an #embodied process, involving emotion, deliberation over #writingcraft, physical sensations of #composition and typing, etc. #AI cannot experience those aspects and cannot be considered a true #author.
#cwcon #cwcon25 "#Authorship in the #AgeofAI"
#AI and #writingevaluation apps often strip #writing of distinctive style and voice/tonal elements of the #writers' works. It is imperative that we use these tools in careful moderation.
#cwcon #cwcon25 "Platformed #Agency: Challenges and Opportunities with #DigitalTools"
#cwcon Session B -
Brandy Dieterle: queer and bi identity on discord
Caitlin Allen Burns: women's embodied experiences and expertise around chronic illness
Heather Listhartke: challenges of accessibility across identity in VR spaces
#cwcon Session A -
Ali Alelem: digital storytelling and rhetorical agency
Jill Chihak: motion simulators (amusement park rides) and rhetorical movement
Alexandra Gunnell: visualizations of embodied experiences of chronic illness (the body as a multimodal composition space).
At #cwcon - Computers and Writing 2025 at UGA. I'm attending panels on embodiment and materiality (although AI is probably unavoidable, I haven't seen any AI talk in the first two sessions!).
Looking forward to #cwcon this weekend! Catch me early Saturday morning for a Keynote Biscuit Breakfast, where I'll be delivering a talk titled "What’s Critical about Critical Interface Analysis? A Recommitment to Humanistic Inquiry in the March to Hyper-Automation."
#cwcon friends, where are you staying? The rooms are all booked for conference rate 😬
Yay for #cwcon representing in the opening talk at #4C25!!! What a great analysis of GenAI and its problems.
Hey, #cwcon Computers and Writing Conference and like-minded friends, nominations for the Tech Innovator Award are OPEN! Amplify the work that someone has been doing in computers and composition (even if that someone is yourself)! DL is 4/25/25.
