J Palmeri, professor of English and director of the Writing Program at Georgetown University, will present “When ChatGPT Fails: Towards a Queer Pedagogy of Writing with, Against, and Beyond AI,” on Thursday, May 2 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. at the Campus Center, Rooms 804-808. The event is open to the UMass Amherst community and to the public.

Palmeri’s talk, which will draw on historical research to focus on practical pedagogical implications for first-year writing, is organized by the members of Teaching in the Time of ChatGPT, a Mutual Mentoring Team Grant awarded by the Office of Faculty Development.

As a scholar, Palmeri focuses on the history and theory of writing pedagogy, multimodal rhetorics, digital humanities and queer literacies. They are the author of the books “Remixing Composition: A History of Multimodal Writing Pedagogy,” (Southern Illinois University Press, 2012), and “100 Years of New Media Pedagogy,” (University of Michigan Press, 2021).
