Book Title: AI and Positionality

As generative artificial intelligence reshapes our educational landscapes, educators face a profound question: How do we embrace these powerful tools while preserving and amplifying the irreplaceable value of diverse human voices? This practical guide offers a thoughtful framework for navigating this terrain with intention and care.

Drawing on qualitative research with students at the frontlines of AI integration, this book provides concrete activities, theoretical frameworks, and pedagogical approaches that position AI as an assistant rather than a replacement for authentic student expression. Through exercises like the Tree of Power and You According to AI, educators will discover how to create learning environments where students recognize the unique value of their positioned perspectives—even in an age when AI can generate seemingly sophisticated content at the click of a button.

Ideal for faculty in psychology, sociology, education, and related fields, this resource offers flexible, adaptable strategies for building learning communities where technology enhances rather than diminishes student agency. By centering student voices and qualitative methodologies, the book provides a counter-narrative to purely technical approaches to AI integration, emphasizing instead how these tools can support more equitable, engaged, and authentic learning experiences.

Join a growing community of educators committed to thoughtful AI integration that honors the full humanity of our students and the irreplaceable wisdom they bring to our classrooms.
