SUMMARY:Humanizing Academic Writing Pedagogies in the Age of AI: Centering 
 Voice
DESCRIPTION:Students often struggle to engage with academic writing\, expre
 ssing feelings of disconnection\, discomfort and even dislike. Such feelin
 gs may lead some students to turn to AI\, often employing it uncritically 
 in order to complete their writing assignments\, thus losing their voice. 
 Humanizing the writing classroom through centering the element of voice ma
 y offer a great way to address these concerns. In light of AI concerns in 
 particular\, voice takes on even more importance as one of the aspects to 
 writing that may distinguish human writing from AI writing. Focusing on vo
 ice may allow students to connect more meaningfully with academic writing 
 as a mode of communication because it can make writing more personally rel
 evant to them and expressive of their identities. Thus\, it is our belief 
 that by humanizing the writing classroom through centering voice\, student
 s may be less likely to rely solely on AI\, and rather develop more critic
 al approaches to their writing. However\, providing effective instruction 
 for students to develop their academic writing voice can be challenging. I
 n this session\, we will provide a brief background on voice in academic w
 riting\, and then share several activities that the presenters have tried 
 with their students to help them (a) explore voice and its importance\, es
 pecially in the age of AI\, (b) reflect on their own developing voice cons
 tructions\, and (c) develop more ownership over their writing. Session rec
 ording and slides now available!
