OxDSS Workshop x AI Competency Centre: Emily Kate Genatowski - Scholarship in the Age of AI

This 3-hour interactive workshop with Emily Kate Genatowski is designed for researchers across the University to explore practical ways to think about AI in the research process. Emily’s work brings together digital humanities, AI, academic practice and emerging citation standards for AI-supported and new-media research. Her recent teaching and project work includes methodologies for humanities research with large language models, citation guidance for new media and AI-supported scholarship, and ethics resources for AI in academia. The workshop will be discussion-led, judgement-free and useful whether you are new to AI or already using it regularly. This is a separate event from the public talk on 26 May. You are welcome to attend either event on its own, or both.

Topics Explored

1. Research methodologies
   How AI and large language models can fit into different stages of the research cycle, including exploring sources, identifying patterns, supporting analysis and helping with repetitive tasks.
2. Attribution and citation
   How to acknowledge and describe the use of AI in scholarly work, and how current debates around citation standards are evolving.
3. Ethics
   How to think through the ethical questions that arise when AI becomes part of research practice, including responsibility, transparency, trust, institutional expectations and the relationship between convenience and scholarly integrity.
   
   Who should attend

This workshop is especially aimed at DPhil students, and researchers across the University, though others with a strong interest in research practice and AI are welcome.
