Pedagogy in the Age of AI

This is the first in a double issue examining how generative AI is reshaping English studies and composition pedagogy, not as a passing technological trend but as a paradigm shift that challenges core concepts such as authorship, originality, ethics, and literacy. This first issue, The AI Turn, brings together classroom-based research and reflective pedagogical essays, foregrounding humanistic values—process, reflection, equity, and ethical judgment—while charting critical, creative, and deliberately varied responses to AI in writing instruction. Collectively, the essays demonstrate how educators are engaging AI thoughtfully without surrendering disciplinary commitments or pedagogical purpose.
