Where and how GenAI fits into your research
GenAI in Academic Research: Tools, Ethics, and Good Practice—a 4-part workshop series for graduate students
Graduate students from both Memorial University and Athabasca University are invited to participate in an updated multi-session workshop series that helps graduate researchers thoughtfully integrate GenAI into their work.
Explore how GenAI can support different stages of the research process, from idea generation, literature review, to data analysis and writing, and experiment with tools for working with scholarly literature and data. Participants are invited to reflect on professional responsibilities, emerging institutional expectations, and the implications of GenAI use for students, supervisors, and reviewers.
The workshop sessions are hosted by AU's Faculty of Graduate Studies and will be facilitated in Microsoft Teams by Dr. Eliana El Khoury, AU Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.
Session 1: Where and how GenAI fits into your research
In this session, we will map the stages of a typical research project and identify where GenAI tools can meaningfully support our work. We will explore a small set of research-oriented tools, we will practice checking and challenging GenAI outputs, and we will discuss the intellectual, ethical, and methodological risks of relying on automated systems.
