Our first episode features Dr. Ebony Wilkins, director of English and Humanities at National Louis University, award-winning author, and lifelong advocate for equity and literacy. We talk about what AI literacy really means in the classroom, why authentic student voice still matters, and how faculty can teach with AI without letting it replace critical thinking.Dr. Wilkins shares her shift from skepticism to curiosity, compares today’s tools to past tech transitions like the early internet, and lays out simple first steps for instructors: open the conversation, name the discomfort, then learn alongside your students.
