Abstract

Abstract This essay posits itself against higher education's ethos of FOMO regarding Generative AI. Instead, the authors propose Move Slow and Build Community, an ethos that conceptualizes teaching as relationship-based intellectual work, and they explore how this ethos guided an interdisciplinary community of practice experimenting with Gen AI in writing courses.
