What’s New with AI?
Critical AI Literacy Institute (funded opportunity)
In 2025, the Teaching and Learning Center at the CUNY Graduate Center will launch the Critical AI Literacy Institute (CALI), which will draw together CUNY faculty to explore how generative artificial intelligence is impacting knowledge production within their academic disciplines. The goal of the program is to develop a community of practice that supports faculty as they question, explore, and grapple with how AI is reshaping their disciplinary practices. Faculty Fellows will develop adaptable teaching materials designed for CUNY’s undergraduate classrooms that model critical engagement with generative AI.
Eligibility
All full-time faculty from CUNY campuses who will be teaching undergraduate courses in Fall 2025 and available for all the activities stated above April 2025 through January 2026 are eligible to apply. Faculty with critical interests in generative AI or educational technology, and those actively involved in departmental curriculum processes are especially encouraged to apply.
Apply
To apply, please complete this form and send your CV and answers to the questions below in a single pdf (lastnamefirstname.pdf) to [email protected] by February 1, 2025. Please use the subject line “Critical AI Grant Application.”
