Are you interested in the role that AI plays in Higher Education? Have you been curious about the ways in which it is shaping teaching, learning, evaluation, and curriculum development at Warwick? Join us for an interactive workshop which creates spaces for participants to share their stories about AI in Education at Warwick. We will discuss various experiences of students and staff, examine policies across the university, and finds ways to critically examine what it means to build critical and equitable educational futures in times of AI.
Project
For this project, we are tinkering with the idea of toxicity (which can simultaneously be desirable and have negative effects if overused, like caffeine in coffee!) as we would like to use satire as a method to engage the wider university community on the use of AI in Education. For the satire, we take inspiration from the Save the AI project done at the University of Toronto.
We would like to invite you to join either one of the following workshops that we will organise in March to gather insights into your thinking, and experiences. Staff, PGT and PGR students are all invited.
Workshop 1 Thursday, 12 March, 12 - 2pm FAB 5.30 Workshop 2 Wednesday, 18 March, 1 - 4 pm FAB 5.03 Lunch will be provided.

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2025 (now extended to 2027) promotes a more robust digital health governance system, including through the development of national digital health strategies. To successfully operationalise the Global Strategy across territories in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Regional Strategy for Fostering Digital Health in the EMR (2023-2027) encourages the formulation of national digital health strategies aligned with broader national and public health priorities. Today, fifteen out of twenty-one countries in the region have adopted national strategies, with others under way.
Our report, Towards People-centred Digital Health Strategies: Gender, Equity, Rights and Inclusion, that reviewed 20 national digital health strategies found that gender equality, human rights, and the needs of marginalised populations were largely overlooked. The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM) at the University of Warwick and the event co-sponsors at Health Enabled are hosting this third and final webinar in our series to share insights and practical tools aimed at embedding gender, equity and rights in national digital health strategies throughout the development and implementation processes.
