Convince Me You're Human: Writing on AI, Humanity, Business, and Pop Culture
How can one capture another’s attention in a way that only a human can? In this workshop, we’ll put into writing the unique ways in which you observe the world. Reading and assessing a variety of essays and pop cultural artifacts, we will learn to craft, edit, and refine persuasive arguments at the intersection of AI, technology, business, and pop culture. Students will learn how to identify and pull from a variety of trade publications and resources, take advantage of AI tools, develop a convincing argument, present data in appealing ways (infographic creation), and produce a polished piece of writing.
- Writing & communication
- Critical thinking
- Research skills
- Project management & execution
- Digital & creative design
- Topical expertise
The final deliverable will be an essay that develops an idea the student has thought through during the workshop. It is more important than ever to be able to express oneself through writing, and the act of editing multiple drafts to arrive at a polished piece of writing will be useful in their current and future academic careers.
