As Program Director for the Human-Centered AI concentration within the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies in the College of Humanities & Earth and Social Sciences at UNC Charlotte, my goal is to provide students with a unique, authentic, and valuable new pathway supporting their success with durable skills in the humanities and social sciences plus foundational AI frameworks for analysis, application, and ethics. My research around AI Literacy in Higher Education has greatly informed my work in this area and interdisciplinary collaborations have lead to very fruitful projects. I am Senior Lecturer in Communication Studies and have been teaching at Charlotte for nearly fifteen years. I serve as an AI Faculty Fellow with the Center for Teaching and Learning at Charlotte. In Fall 2025, I worked with colleagues as part of the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Institute on AI, Pedagogy and the Curriculum which lead to the newly formed AI Accelerator team at Charlotte. In Spring 2025, I served as a Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) AI Faculty Fellow, building a database of AI Use Case Stories and collaborating on the CTL 3rd Annual AI Summit for Smarter Learning. In Fall 2024, I collaborated on the AI in Teaching and Learning Task Force as the CHESS representative.
