From search results to article summaries, image generators and facial recognition, artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere.
Bonnie Stewart, a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor, challenges the idea that this AI omnipresence is inevitable or even something higher education should embrace.
Having worked in digital pedagogies since the late 1990s, Dr. Stewart’s research focuses on combining educational and sociological lenses to examine how digital tools are used.

For kinesiology professor Chad Sutherland, the phrase “volunteer work” is a misnomer.
“I don’t really view it as work,” he says.
“I view it as something everyone should be doing: getting involved and helping in the things that you love to do, whether that’s bringing expertise to an area or offering an extra set of hands. It’s all important, and we need it more than ever right now.”
