In episode nine, Mason and Monica welcome colleague Jen Kooken to a discussion of generative AI tools, how they impact our role as writers and writing teachers, and how they fit into the English 101 Experiment.
Meet Jen
Jen Kooken is an Associate Professor of English at Delgado and has been teaching there for sixteen years, beginning in 2008 as a writing center tutor and adjunct instructor. Her teaching philosophy is centered on student-driven learning and building a community of learners every semester. She is a big fan of sci fi (primarily Star Wars) and vintage horror. She also loves all things Mardi gras and has been glittering shoes in the Krewe of Muses for many years. She works hard to bring the same level of enthusiasm she has for her hobbies to her classroom and is excited to be on the The English 101 Experiment podcast.
