In Fall 2025, Arts & Science will partner with the NYU Center for Teaching & Learning and the Empire Generative AI Literacy grant to sponsor five divisional Faculty Learning Communities focusing on discipline-specific essential approaches and resources to promote AI literacy. The Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is an established and effective organizational structure for promoting faculty development and collaboration on complex issues related to teaching, learning, and research. It has a proven track record within Arts & Science. These features make FLCs an ideal structure to promote faculty awareness and fluency with generative AI in the context of divisional disciplines. In addition to promoting literacy among FLC members, the five divisional FLCs sponsored in this project will produce products and recommendations to guide and seed wider literacy efforts in their respective disciplinary areas. Having been shaped by faculty experts, these products will be better focused on the needs and particularities of disciplines than mass literacy efforts.
Selected clips from the Teach-Out presentations have been shared with the entire Arts & Science community on a biweekly basis via email. Here are the links to those emails, which contain "snack size" video clips as well as key takeaways from each group.
Arts & Science Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) will host a series of Teach-Out sessions highlighting what emerged from their Fall semester work on generative AI in teaching and research. Each session will feature a 75-minute Zoom panel led by the FLC convener and members, sharing:
Key issues and questions explored by the group
Curated resources and recommendations for the discipline
Observations about current GenAI use in the field
Open Q&A with attendees
Sessions will be recorded, and resource lists will be posted on this site.
