Course: WRIT 285: Writing & Technological Revolutions

Time: M/W 3:20-4:35

Instructor: Dr. Kate Ozment

Description: Large language models (colloquially called AI) have sparked unending conversations about what it means to be human when sacred areas of creativity and production are newly mechanized and exploited. This course connects the AI Revolution to the Industrial Revolution in Europe, when advances in technology radically reshaped economics, geography, community structures, the influence of religion, and philosophies of the self. As we comparatively study eighteenth-century and contemporary literature about technological changes, we see technologies' influence on how we study, learn, and connect to one another in a meta-analysis that invites students to engage with new and legacy tech with agency and intention.

Counts as a UGER Communication-Intensive course!
