Hi!

My name is Jason Gulya. I'm a Professor of English and Media Communications at Berkeley College. I got my M.A. and Ph.D. in 17th- and 18th-century British Literature, from Rutgers University. (That feels like a very long time ago). That experience was the foundation of my first book, Allegory in Enlightenment Britain: Literary Abominations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022). I'm currently completing my book on process-focused teaching in The Age of AI for University of Oklahoma Press.

Over the last few years, my focus has been on the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI), pedagogy, and higher education. I'm committed to thinking about the long-term effects of this technology, good and bad, for higher learning. I co-wrote a book with Paul Matthews, titled Artificial Intelligence, Real Literacy (2025). For my approach to teaching AI, I've been featured in Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, Forbes, Insider, and other publications. In 2025, I was also selected as one the most innovative people in New Jersey.

I've worked widely as a consultant and keynote speaker, and have trained thousands of educators and students on what AI means for learning and education.

Here's my big idea.

I think that the rise of GenAI and similar technologies is a push to rethink how our classes our structured. To adapt, we need to do more than incorporate AI into our classrooms. We need to design learning spaces that prioritize learning (rather than grades) and that focus on process as much as product. I'm currently writing a book on the topic.
