Workshops
Generative Futures workshops are designed as entry points into shared inquiry: places where faculty can think together about language, interpretation, and generative AI in ways that are practical, reflective, and rooted in the liberal arts. Open to colleagues across the college, they offer space to test ideas, build shared vocabulary, and imagine classroom practices responsive to this changing moment.
Upcoming Workshops
Educator Development Day: Generative Futures and Shared Inquiry
Thursday, May 14 from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Tim Fuller Event Space in Tutt Library
Register by end of day on Thursday, May 7.
We invite faculty into a day of interactive, cross-disciplinary conversation about the many languages through which we teach, interpret, and make meaning. As the first major gathering of our new Mellon-supported initiative, we will use this space to think together about language not only as words on a page, but as the wider set of forms through which knowledge is shaped, communicated, and contested across the college. We will also consider how those practices matter within and beyond the growing presence of AI in higher education. Through shared inquiry, collaborative reflection, and hands-on workshopping, participants will work on concrete teaching examples and help define the emerging contours of Critical Language Inquiry (CLI) and Critical AI Literacy (CAIL) at Colorado College. Participants will leave with new ideas for their teaching and stronger connections with colleagues across disciplines.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided and faculty will receive a $200 stipend and become eligible to apply for future CLI and CAIL course development grants.
